Evil Serial Killers - In The Minds of Monsters (Charlotte Greig)

Evil Serial Killers - In The Minds of Monsters

Charlotte Greig

Blurb: Our fascination with serial killers is at once disturbing and understandable: disturbing because according to society's mores we should condemn the killers' crimes and avoid all thought of their horrific actions, but understandable because we are so fascinated by their motives - what leads them to behave in such perverted ways and what makes them become killers who strike again and again?

Charlotte Greig has chosen and written in details about fifty of the world's most infamous serial killers, ranging from Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy. Documenting each of the fifty, it is easy to see similar themes emerging: David Berkowitz or Anatoly Onoprienko who grew up to be loners and subsequently wrought revenge on society which they felt had rejected them; the killers who kill purely for the sexual thrills, like Albert Fish or John Christie; and occult practitioners like the Chicago Rippers and Richard Ramirez who were inspired by macabre rituals to take their dark fantasies into even darker realities.

Whatever the personal stories that emerge from this line-up of twisted individuals, Evil Serial Killers is a compelling testament, and warning, of the potential of human behaviour for true horror and pure evil.

Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters - Percy Jackson and the Olympians #2 (Rick Riordan)

Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #2)

Rick Riordan

Blurb: You can't tell by looking at me that my dad is Poseidon God of the Sea.

It's not easy being a half-blood these days. You mortals can't even see the monsters we have to fight all the time. So when a game of dodgeball turned into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, I couldn't exactly ask my gym teacher for help.

And that was just for starters. This is the one where Camp Half-Blood is under attack, and unless I get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones.

Can Percy survive the treacherous Sea of Monsters and restore order to Half-Blood Hill?
