From Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs) to Patrick Bateman (American Psycho), stories of serial killers and psychos loom large and menacing in our collective psyches. Tales of their grisly conquests have kept us cowering under the covers, but still turning the pages. Psychos is the first book to collect the scariest and most well-crafted fictional works about these deranged killers in a single volume. John Skipp provides fascinating insight, through two nonfiction essays, into our insatiable obsession with serial killers and how these madmen are portrayed in popular culture. Resources at the end of the book include lists of the genre's best long-form fiction, movies, websites and writers.
