About this ebook
Albert Fish held the genuine belief that the murders he committed were upon instruction from God. The original Dracula's relative Countess Elisabeth was rumoured to use blood of her victims to preserve her youth and beauty. Jeffrey Dahmer began a macabre project of building an occult altar with his victims' body parts, believing this granted him supernatural powers to subdue and control his prey. Peter Stumpp, who started practising the "wicked arts from twelve years of age", was convinced he was a werewolf. The crimes committed by these people usually involved sexual deviance, cannibalism and violence toward children. In the sixteenth-century Europe, the problem became so significant that 'Werewolf Witch Trials' were conducted - many have no idea that it was possible to be tried and convicted for the crime of being a Werewolf, but Lycanthropy was a serious and major social concern in the 1500s. Supernatural Serial Killers discuss the individual cases of supernatural serial killers, including their background, crimes, trials and defences.

Great material: well structured and with a lot of details. Also really interesting "in depth look" sections with analysis for each case. As a fan of true crime genre I've read a lot of books, and this one definitely among the best. Would buy any other works by these authors.

I enjoyed the read. I liked how the author not only looks at the heinous
murders but also looks at their childhood and also the trial. He also
categorizes the type of killer psychologically they would be considered.
The author truly tells a very true tale of life and loss not only of the
victims but the innocence of the murderers.
