JAMES ELLROY:
SUMMARY:An A-Z encyclopedia of serial killers for which Ellroy is sometimes misidentified as an editor. In fact, Ellroy supplied an introduction for this quickie (but extremely rare) paperback drawn from the files of a tabloid crime digest.
PUBLISHER'S TEASER:"From Manson and Jones to Nilsen and Sutcliffe, from Brady and Hindley to Bundy and Dahmer, these are the murderers who went one irrevocable step beyond, into the taboo realms of the human psyche. These are not just murderers, but serial killers, butchers, maniacs, cannibals. They are the most foul, deranged, most vicious, most pathetic yet ultimately the most significant members of the society that spawned them.
"This A-Z of the most notorious killers in the history of true crime is an odyssey of terror into the minds and motives of those gruesome individuals who may horrify and sicken, but never fail to fascinate."
