I Have Lived Inside the Monster

Maybe a bit off topic, but still on topic.

I recommend this book by R. Ressler if you're interested in serial killers.

Ressler is an ex FBI agent who coined the term serial killer back in the 70s. He's written a ew books of which this is his second one.

he talks about the profiling of the killers from some cases he worked on, and he talks about his interviews/letters with gayce and dahmer after they were caught.

below is a little review i found for it.




In his phenomenally successful Whoever Fights Monsters, Robert K. Ressler examined his brilliant twenty-year career hunting down killers for the FBI. Now, delving deeper than ever before into the criminal mind, Ressler recounts his years since leaving the FBI, working as an independent criminal profiler on some of the most famous serial murder cases of our day.

Ingeniously piecing together clues from crime scenes, along with killing patterns and methods, Ressler explains his role in assisting the investigations of such perplexing international cases as England's Wimbledon Common killing, the ABC Murders in South Africa, and the deadly gassing of Japan's subway. We're also witness to Ressler's fascinating, in-depth interviews with John Wayne Gacy, the first and last one America's most prolific serial killer would ever grant, plus a shockingly candid discussion with "cannibal killer" Jeffrey Dahmer.

Daring to understand the depraved minds of serial killers, Robert K. Ressler returns from the deepest abyss with an unforgettable account that is as riveting as it is shocking.

Great book, but I actually like John Douglas a little better, his book "Mindhunter" was awesome!
