About this ebook

Real-life is stranger and more frightening than fiction, and this book serves to cement that principal even further. In this compilation, there are eleven cases of some of the most deplorable, unjust and violent crimes I've come across. From cannibals to rapists to the sickest, most twisted criminals you've not yet heard of, you'll read about them all in this book.


I'll tell you the story of Rurik Jutting, a British banker living in Hong Kong who held two women hostage, tortured them and raped them over a number of days. You'll learn about Issei Sagawa, a Japanese cannibal who killed and ate a woman - but walks free on the streets today. Then there's the vile three-week torture of an Australian woman who, when she was eventually rescued, paramedics initially thought she was dead. You can also read about the 'Hello Kitty' murder, which is as bizarre as it sounds - and as equally haunting.


But please be warned, the cases in this book are highly disturbing and include graphic and distressing descriptions. Please take this trigger warning seriously as this book depicts horrific crimes that involve sexual abuse, domestic abuse, child abuse and graphic violence throughout. This book is intended to explore the evil in this world and expose the heinous behaviour some people are capable of. Please heed this warning before continuing to read.


The book fits under the following categories:

Serial Killers

True Crime

Murder and Mayhem

True Murder Cases

True Crime Biography

Very well written and almost unbelievable in its baffling cruelty.It amazes me that these animals are actually human beings as we are.But for sure,they have no conscience and possibly the devil owns their soul and always has.Good job and I would like to read more

Really easy read. Many I didn't know. Although it has a few typos, I'd still recommend this. W/out reservation.

About the author

I'm interested in all things true crime and enjoy watching documentaries, listening to podcasts and reading books. Researching and writing about true crime is my passion. I first became interested in real-life crimes when I watched Nick Broomfield's 1992 documentary on Aileen Wuornos, 'The Selling of a Serial Killer'. I watched in as a youngster in the late 90's (there was little TV censorship in my house) and became enthralled. As young as I was, and as much as I probably didn't understand a lot of what went on in the documentary at the time, it sparked a life-long intrigue. 


Vodka and films are my hobbies.


From the North of England, I started a career in media and publishing. Upon deciding that I wasn't passionate enough working for someone else, I now write full-time and aspire to expand my true crime books into a fully functioning publishing house where I'm able to publish other writers' works.
