Summary
Which came first - serial homicide, or our ability to make tools?
How did the printing press lead to the immortalization of Jack the Ripper?
How did World World 2 contribute to the wave of brutal killings that gripped America for three decades?
In A Quick History On: Serial Killers, we look to answering these kinds of questions in search of a story of those who murder again and again. Drawing on everything from pulp magazines to peer-reviewed literature, looking all the way back to prehistory and toward the future, this edition from An Odd Earth Publishing invites you to ask deeper questions on history’s most notorious - and most brutal - murderers.
It is the strange story of how werewolves may have helped create forensic psychiatry as we know it today; how railway accidents in Victorian London might have created the man Ted Bundy became. It is the story of women dipping their bodies in baths of blood to keep their skin glowing. It is the story of doctors walking through the hospital ward, looking for their next victim.
The “serial killer” came to be, thanks to an entire human history’s worth of developments, from criminology to demonology.
