This book gives a history of serial killers who are also cannibals throughout history. Most of them have been either abused, abandoned by their biological parents, or experienced death early on in life and became obsessed with it. A lot of them were men who discovered they were gay, so a lot of these were perverted pedeophiles, who got aroused watching their victims die. Quite a few others picked up prostitites because they did not otherwise have good luck with women.

I was particularly disturbed with the ones who would break into people's homes and take their kids, some as young as 5 years old, which happens to be the age of my daughter. Quite a few of them had a burial ground located inside their house or close to it. I can only imagine what a grisly site these police officer's discovered realizing these killers were cooking their victims and eating them when they went to investigate the crime scene. One of them admitted they liked "young flesh" the best, after the police discovered a little girl's hand cooking on the kitchen stove. It's enough to give you goosebumps.

Being a fan of true crime novels, I liked the fact this book covered several and not just one well known case. This was quite an intriguing read and I would recommend it to anyone interested in this genre. ( )
