True Crime Serial History

Their names echo through true crime history like dark legends: John Wayne Gacy, the Zodiac Killer, Richard Ramirez, Aileen Wuornos, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and the Golden State Killer.

I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish.
