V I C I O U S Murderers:
by David Everitt

At last! Another of those rare murderer anthologies that's not

riddled with inaccuracies. Author David Everitt delivers a
detailed, engrossing summation of the crimes of one hundred
killers. Each entry includes real or estimated birth/death dates
and is listed in chronological order. This concurrent D A V I D E V E R I T T

presentation demonstrates how murder has changed throughout

the centuries, from slaying for survival or profits (Jean -Baptiste
Troppman) to simply killing (Ted Bundy). Beginning with
inbreeding Scottish cannibal Sawney Beane and concluding with To getyour
Russian ripper Andre Chikatilo, the encyclopedia spans time and book
the world, mentioning fiends from several countries. The reviewed In
sections have background information on each killer and put the SCPWWM
individual in historical perspective. Everitt briefly describes the s e n d it t o :

exceptions, there are illustrations of pre 1900 killers and as an

added bonus, the punishment that fit the crime is given in full
detail. This is certainly one of the better books of its kind,
treating the reader with little known facts about each case and
finding some very eerie photos of the men ( and over ten 9
women) that make up this motley crew of 100 of the worlds most
