Summary
Dark Profiles: Biographies of Serial Killers offers sixty detailed profiles of the world’s most infamous serial killers. The book examines not just their crimes, but the psychological issues, obsessions, and social factors that shaped them. Names like Edmund Kemper, Luis Alfredo Garavito, Leonarda Cianciulli, and others are covered with clinical detachment, not glorification.
This revised edition deepens the psychological analysis and sharpens the narrative, challenging readers to consider what pushes a person past the limits of humanity. It asks where responsibility ends and mental illness begins, using facts and insights from psychology, sociology, and history.
Dark Profiles is not sensationalist; it is a stark look at how killers are made and what their existence says about society. Sixty chilling faces look back from these pages—proof that some monsters walk among us.
