Best serial killer biographies?
Does anyone have any recommendations of serial killer biography books? Doesn’t have to be serial killers, can also be killers in general. I loved the biography of Mark David Chapman. ANY suggestions are taken with gratitude, please take them time, dear Yahooers!

Biographies do not particuarly interest me in the way of serial killers. I find them to take forever to get to the action, the gore et cetera.
I have a great deal of books on this subject, and my favourite one regarding lives of killers is called “Talking With Serial Killers” by Christopher Berry Dee. It is fascinating and goes through the lives of some of the most famous killers, such as Aileen Wuornos, Arthur Shawcross, Henry Lee Lucas, John Martin Scripps et cetera.
