Praise for Peter Vronskys
Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters
This formidably comprehensive, brilliantly researched book must be the most wide-ranging work on serial killers that has been written so far. The fact that it sprang from the authors brief encounters with two serial killers lends it a sense of personal urgency.
Colin Wilson, coauthor of Killers Among Us and
author of Written in Blood
Serial Killers: The Method and Madness of Monsters is one of the most complete books I have read on serial killers. If you are fascinated by the human mind and by those who are abnormal, this is the book for you.

INTRODUCTION
SERIAL SPARTACISM
The Politics of Female Aggression
Can you name the serial killer who struck in the back of a military helicopter flying at 4,000 feet on a mission? Or the one who, at the age of eleven, killed two victims? Or the one who danced and socialized with a California governor? Some would know to name Genene Jones, Mary Bell, and Dorothea Puentethree females. But for the rest of us, we never even knew there were female serial killers. That is, except for that Monster lesbian hookerthe one they made the movie aboutAileen Wuornos. While the names of Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer or the monikers of the Boston Strangler, Son of Sam, the Green River Killer, and BTK are familiar to all, ask us to name a few female serial killers and we usually stop right after Aileen. Were there others?
