Mythological monsters as well as human criminals described by ancient authors fit various serial killer profiles down to very specific details. This book investigates these stories and more to shed light on the centuries-old phenomenon of serial killing. Felton draws frequent comparisons to modern-day killers like Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy and their methods, while also bringing in other instances from across the centuries as further examples"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $aMonsters and Monarchs 606 $aSerial murderers$xHistory 606 $aSerial murders$xHistory 615 0$aSerial murderers$xHistory. 615 0$aSerial murders$xHistory. 676 $a364.152/32 700 $aFelton$b Debbie$01695556 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826694403321 996 $aMonsters and Monarchs$94074895 997 $aUNINA
