Henry Zebrowski, Ben Kissel, and Marcus Parks have spent over a decade diving into horror subjects ranging from Jeffrey Dahmer to supernatural phenomena, building a devoted following for their unique approach to macabre topics. In this collection, they turn their analytical lens on history's most infamous serial killers, including Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. Each profile examines the killer's background, methods, and psychology through exhaustive research presented with the hosts' characteristic morbid wit. The book combines fresh material with updated content from fan-favorite episodes, illustrated throughout with creepy four-color artwork. This examination of humanity's darkest impulses delivers both comprehensive analysis and the irreverent commentary that made the podcast a phenomenon.
