True Crime: The Cruelest Killers: 13 Shocking True Crime Cases from New York, Seattle & Pattaya

In "True Crime: The Cruelest Killers," Alexander Dragone flings wide the doors to a world of unimaginable cruelty and the darkest abysses of the human psyche. Renowned for his meticulous historical chronicles of the 20th century, Dragone breaks new ground with this global odyssey of horror.

Moving away from his signature chronological approach, he curates a collection of the most abhorrent serial killer cases from every corner of the globe—from the frozen streets of Russia and the gritty red-light districts of Pattaya to the neon-drenched metropolis of New York City.

This book is a definitive collection of the most extreme true crime cases ever recorded—stories that defy belief and force us to confront the ultimate question: How deep does the human abyss truly go?

• The Cannibal of Berlin and his nightmarish kitchen.
• Gary Ridgway, the infamous "Green River Killer" of Seattle.
• Joseph Vacher and his sadistic rituals in the French Alps.

This volume is an unflinching look at the reality of evil. Featuring graphic descriptions of violence, including explicit accounts of necrophilia, cannibalism, and mutilation, this book is intended for mature audiences.
