Autor: James Marrison

Número de Páginas: 225

This is no ordinary true crime book. If you think you've got the stomach for the most blood-curdling, sickening and downright strangest murders you will ever come across, then look no further than these pages. You have been warned...Take, for example, Enriqueta Marti who kidnapped children from the streets of Barcelona, then boiled away their flesh and crushed their bones for ingredients for her coveted 'magic potions'. Or take Randy Kraft, known as The Scorecard Killer, a computer genius by day and a a deranged psychopath by night. Finally arrested with a corpse slumped in the passenger seat of his car, it emerged that Kraft had spent over a decade cutting up and disposing of his numerous victims along the California highways. In this stomach-churning collection, all the stories have one thing in common - a unique bizarre twist. True crime writer James Marrison draws upon the material that has featured in the hugely successful column The Murder File in cult magazine Bizarre in order to disclose the kind of sickening deeds that are perpetrated more often than you might think, but which sometimes go largely unreported by the media. Welcome to The World's Most bizarre Murders - the...

Brazilian Detective Chronicles

Autor: Luís Fernando De Lima Júnior

Número de Páginas: 112

How much is a life worth? Are some lives more or less important? For the investigators at the Homicide Division of São José dos Campos, the answer is, 'every life is worth it and represents a loss to those who love them.' 'Our day begins when yours ends…' It's truly a grim but fitting motto, as the dedication and commitment of the police officers are the deciding factor in surpassing the state average of 42% homicide clearance rate. The motto is fitting because the dedication and effort of these officers compensate for the well-known lack of infrastructure, the true bottleneck of all public services. Most people view public service (including the Police) as bureaucracy that hinders everything and favours those who merely seek a position. What they don't realize is that the position carries a responsibility and a duty of dedication that surpasses any private job. There is no overtime, no stomachache, no excuse. If the phone rings and the call is to attend a crime scene, even in the dead of night, every second counts. After all, it's not just another case or an inert body. It's a grieving family that awaits justice to bring some comfort. Conceptually, police investigation is a...

Supernatural Serial Killers

Autor: Samantha Lyon , Dr Daphne Tan

Número de Páginas: 344

Albert Fish held the genuine belief that the murders he committed were upon instruction from God. The original Dracula's relative Countess Elisabeth was rumoured to use blood of her victims to preserve her youth and beauty. Jeffrey Dahmer began a macabre project of building an occult altar with his victims' body parts, believing this granted him supernatural powers to subdue and control his prey. Peter Stumpp, who started practising the "wicked arts from twelve years of age", was convinced he was a werewolf. The crimes committed by these people usually involved sexual deviance, cannibalism and violence toward children. In the 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. Supernatural Serial Killers discuss the individual cases of supernatural serial killers, including their background, crimes, trials and defences.

The FBI estimate that there are between 25 and 50 serial killers at large in the USA at any given time. But the truth is few people kill. We occasionally say we could kill someone, but that is usually hyperbole. Most of us can imagine what it might be like to be driven to a senseless act of violence in an unendurable situation. To kill once is one thing; to kill over and over again is quite another. What drives these people who kill and kill again? Are they evil or are they mad? Serial killing is a worldwide phenomenon and no two killers are alike. Each one comes with a grisly though compelling tale that takes the reader to the darkest reaches of the human psyche.

The Jolly Roger Social Club

Autor: Nick Foster

Número de Páginas: 288

The true crime story of greed, political history, and the serial killer stalking a shadowy American ex-pat community in Panama. “The world has never seen a killer quite like William Dathan Holbert. Nick Foster’s shrewdly told, rum-soaked, all-too-true tale of serial murder in the tropics is simply stunning.” —Robert Kolker, author of Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery In the remote Bocas del Toro, Panama, William Dathan Holbert, a.k.a. “Wild Bill,” is awaiting trial for the murder of five fellow American ex-patriots. Holbert’s first victims were the Brown family, who lived on a remote island in the area’s Darklands. There, Holbert turned their home into the “Jolly Roger Social Club,” using drink- and drug-fueled parties to get to know other ex-pats. The club’s tagline was: “Over 90% of our members survive.” Those odds were not in his victims’ favor. The Jolly Roger Social Club is not just a book about what Holbert did and the complex financial and real estate motives behind the killings; it is about why Bocas del Toro turned out to be his perfect hunting ground, and why the community tolerated—even accepted—him for a time. Told through the...

A ideia por trás desta obra é reunir o máximo de elementos sérios sobre eles e estabelecer uma espécie de padrão acerca de suas ações. Entendermos como funcionam as determinações de seus crimes, suas respectivas dinâmicas criminais e chegar a possíveis prevenções e aplicações de lei mais adequadas aos seus respectivos casos.

Número de Páginas: 327

Brazil's pressing socio-political questions as seen through the country's horror-film-influenced audio-visual production between 2008 and 2022. Since the 2008 release of Embodiment of Evil, the third instalment in the Coffin Joe trilogy, which began with At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul, Brazil's audiovisual industry has been producing an increasing number of unsettling, often violent and frequently dystopian films, reflecting the wide-ranging social, cultural, environmental and economic problems the country is facing. This edited volume by scholars from Brazil, the United Kingdom and the United States discusses a broad selection of Brazilian audio-visual productions released between 2008 and 2022 which, through their use of aesthetic and narrative devices borrowed from horror cinema, shed light on the country's pressing socio-political questions. Mostly by first-time directors, these productions bear witness to a second 'Golden Age' of Brazilian horror cinema (reflected in new, specialised festivals such as CineFantasy, RioFan, CRASH and Fantaspoa) and ultimately serve to illustrate, in audio-visual form, the tensions at the heart of Brazilian society in the second decade of the...
