Non-Fiction Help?

I'm lookin for a book on real life murderers and madmen. I know of a book called "The Most Evil Men and Women in History." It has chapters on Rasputin, Caligula, Vlad the Impaler, etc. I found this book to be a very interesting read but I'm lookin for books that has murderers such as Albert Fish, John Wayne Gacy, and Ed Gein. But I'm not lookin for fiction. Please, all other suggestions are welcome. I'm interested in any and all books that match this description.

Well there is the encyclopedia of Serial Killers and I'm not if you're familiar with Keith Hunter Jesperson but there's his biography "I: The Creation Of A Serial Killer". Also, Harold Schechter has alot of good stuff liek his books "Deranged", "Feind" and just stuff like that. Check out Amazon books for a better list. I mean I have a few, which I listed but here's the link for some more.

If you're looking for a good book about a madman, I suggest you learn about H.H. Holmes. known to be America's first serial Killer. A good book about him is Devil's desciple. You can find it on Amazon.

Colin Wilson has a few good true crime books out there, but you have to look closely because he writes on haf a dozen different topics.

Local bookstores, especially those along the lines of Borders, Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million usually have a "True Crime" section, which almost always includes countless works on Serial Killers.
