Albert Fish held the genuine belief that the murders he committed were upon instruction from God. Peter Stumpp, who started practising the "wicked arts from twelve years of age", was convinced he was a werewolf. There are many more murderous individuals like them. Supernatural Serial Killers explores the association between serial killers and the supernatural. The crimes committed by these men and women usually involved sexual deviance, cannibalism and violence toward children. In sixteenth century Europe, the problem became so significant that 'Werewolf Witch Trials' were conducted - many have no idea that it was possible to be tried and convicted for the crime of being a Werewolf, but Lycanthropy was a serious and major social concern in the 1500s. In this book, approximately twenty supernatural serial killers are discussed, including their background, crimes, trials and defences.

Real stories of gruesome murders spanning centuries By Diane Lynch I would like to thank Netgalley and author Samantha Lyon for my copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.This book covers 16 different serial killers and their stories. The format is well organized . The beginning of the book clearly sets up the rest of the book. Explanations of what makes a serial killer. Explanations of what label goes with which type of killer. A typology is explained and each of the killers is examined to see where they fit into that typology.These killers were chosen because their crimes were so gruesome. In some way, each killer is linked with the beliefs people have about vampires or were wolfs. These 16 monsters span from the 16th to the 20th centuries and come from various parts of the world. Since this book covers such a large time period the reader also watches the justice systems mature to what they've become today. In the 16th century people were actually convicted of being a witch, vampire or were wolf. No witches are covered in this book. The book brings up good points for these beliefs as well.Each chapter covers one killer in chronological order. First background information about the killers life leading up to their serial killing. The crimes are described next. The trial and outcome follows. Finally the discussion where the analysis takes place. By putting these 16 criminals in this structure it is possible to really look at not only the killer but the society he/she exists in. No two are ever the same. There are similarities that you will see because of this format.These chapters contain just the facts. You get what you need to understand these types of killers. It was an exciting book to read. Many of these serial killers I've never heard of. A few I know to well. Many of them I will be reading more about. I immediately jumped into a book based on the first one covered.

Interesting and Well Researched By The Invisible Pam ~ ebook provided by Netgalley which means this is a review of an Advanced Reading CopyBack when I was a ridiculously young-adult and was considering being an author I did a good deal of reading about toxins and murderers. Long after I abandoned that most inappropriate career option I found myself still interested in the subject, not so much from a morbid curiosity in the grisly details, but because I could not for one second put myself in their place. I couldn't grasp how anyone could become so ghoulish, and as I'm eternally fascinated by the spectrum of human conditions, books in the serial killer vain still catch my attention.Now I haven't read a book about serial killers in some time, but the title of this book caught my eye and piqued my interest. What did the authors mean by 'supernatural'. Were they referring to something like possession? Did they find that serial killers believed in the supernatural? What in the world did the 'other realm' have to do with unbalanced individuals??The truth is that the Supernatural aspect of the material is almost superfluous. It doesn't have to do with the motivation of the perps as much as it gives the reader a historical framework for how the general populace perceives the actions of these rare individuals. For in the place of any understanding of such heinous crimes people throughout history have resorted to Vampire and Werewolf tales to explain away the aberration that is the serial killer. Even into modern times.~Samantha Lyon's and Dr Daphne Tan's book is well researched. And one of the aspects of the book that I enjoyed was their attempt to locate ancient evidence of the existence of serial killers. And so the 16 chapters, each dedicated to an individual, begins in the mid-1500s with the 'Werewolves of Poligny', and proceeds throughout the centuries until Jack Spillman III, the 'Werewolf Butcher', circa 1995.*note that those with squeamish tummies should probably resist this book.Those who are curious about serial killers will get a solid overview of the subject. Lyon's and Tan's book isn't just a salacious effort. They make the attempt to explain and understand some of the common factors that can be found in the backgrounds of this type of criminal. [Did you know that head injuries are a common factor?] And they examine each individual using that categorization/typology of Holmes and DeBurger.It's this latter that I think is a little weak. The discussion was lighter than I would have wanted, but probably appropriate for most readers. I can't help it, I tend to lean a little to the academic.If this topic is within your reading categories you might certainly want to pick up SUPERNATURAL SERIAL KILLERS. It was an entertaining and informative read.-- ebook review copy provided by publisher

This book is bizarre, the crimes and killers described are perverse and unsettling, and overall I thought it was fascinating By Kyle Robertson This book is bizarre, the crimes and killers described are perverse and unsettling, and overall I thought it was a fascinating read. There are sixteen real life monsters profiled, of which I was only really familiar with two of them. The authors state that the aim of the book is to investigate serial killers with a link to the supernatural, whether it be that the killers themselves felt an affinity with a creature of myth or whether they were assigned this link by society and the media.The first part of the book, titled "Why Killers Kill", discusses possible factors that can contribute to the development of certain tendencies for those that are profiled. The authors state "some obvious patterns or themes emerge which link the serial killers discussed in this book...some of them, for example, suffered head injuries, which have been shown in neurological studies to correlate with the subsequent development of aggressive behavior. Many of them suffered problems with sexual dysfunction or impotence during their formative years and their murders subsequently demonstrated a great deal of sexual frustration and sexual violence. A good number of them were struggling with mental illness of various forms, whether or not they went on to be judged as legally insane. They very often had unfortunate, even traumatizing, childhoods."Each profile provides an introduction of the killer which examines their childhood, teenage years, and their life leading up to the beginning of their crime sprees. Most serial killers begin in their late teens and twenties, but some in this book were much older at the time they began. Next, the chapter goes into detail about the actual crimes committed, as far as the research is available. Then comes the trial and sentencing portion, which explains the capture, questioning, trial, and sentencing. The final section for each profile provides a discussion about the psychological and criminal background, including possible mental health issues. This provides great insight into the mind of each killer, as the authors attempt to classify each one using the Holmes and DeBurger typology.This book is extensively researched, and I would recommend it to all true crime fans, but not to those that are easily offended by gory details and depictions of the crimes committed, many of which involve children. I received this as a free ARC from Arcturus Publishing on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
