Hopefully my new novel, Blood Related (Nov/Dec release), might perch on the end of this list one day (audible sigh). Check out the list, will update as more come to mind. I will be posting a Non-fiction bibliographical list that will raise eyebrows no doubt! Hey, better on the page, than on the pavement eh?
and here's the bonus, go to the goodreads list and see the covers. Have fun.
Interesting list, my friend! :D
ReplyDeleteSome of these, I have read. Others are on my to read list. The minds of these killers are rather complex, and some are brilliant even. There are so many variables. Thus the reason for much and varied research.
You have done well!

ooh, great list! There are a few on here I have not read.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I've read some of these myself and look forward to checking out some of the titles I haven't gotten around to yet. I will also pass it on to my co-workers at the Library.
ReplyDeleteOn another note: I've nominated you as a Minion of Misery on my blog http://sickopsychotic.blogspot.com/2011/09/minions-of-misery.html
Keep up the great work.
