In Why We Love Serial Killers, criminology professor Dr. Scott Bonn explores our powerful appetite for the macabre, while also providing new and unique insights into the world of the serial killer, including those he has gained from his correspondence with two of the world’s most notorious examples, David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam") and Dennis Rader ("Bind, Torture, Kill").

Re-hash of Vronsky’s Serial Killers: Methods and Madness of Monsters
Revisado: 12-07-22
Seriously, it reads like a book report of Vronsky’s book and references it *all the time*. It opens with stopping “SK myths” that are 20++ years out of date and essentially claims that the world only identifies white women as victims. He’s going to share the shocking truth!!
Bonn clearly has 4 favorites and good grief does he mention Bundy, Gacy, Rader, & Berkowitz. I get that he had some sort of contact with 2 of them, but they come up in every chapter… even when they don’t apply (“…unlike Bundy, Gacy did THIS”).
I don’t mind the attempt at ‘academic’ perspective, but I do loathe the insistence on “Tell them what you’re going to say, say it, then tell them what you said”. Each chapter ends with a recap of *In this chapter, I covered XYRader.”*
The title isn’t delivered. What I wanted from someone in the “murdertainment” industry was an discussion of MEDIA regarding serial killers and the various ways they have been covered in the last 140 years. If you want to go way back to the early coverage, try The Invention of Murder by Judith Flanders instead.

On a tour through history that's both whimsical and startling, we'll encounter 17th-century children flying around inside their New England home "like geese". We'll meet a father-son team of pious Puritans who embarked on a mission that involved undressing ladies and overseeing hangings. And on the eve of the Civil War, we'll accompany a reporter as he dons a dress and goes searching for witches in New York City's most dangerous neighborhoods.

Entertaining, not educational. And that’s fine.

The author aims for a humorous tone. In the attempt to keep it light, some useful details are omitted and too much “fun” distracts from the point.
Narrator note: this woman has the worst pronunciation for some common words. Most painful is that she calls a female pig a “sew”… which wouldn’t be a huge ordeal if there hadn’t been a whole section on the importance of pigs. It’s a SOW. You sow seeds and feed a sow. The name Job is not the same as a job. All in all the narrator’s misses really impacted my ability to concentrate and willingness to keep listening.
