Talking with Serial Killers: The Sinister Study of Stalkers
After over twenty-five years interviewing the most dangerous contemporary serial killers, bestselling true crime author Christopher Berry-Dee explores the darkest corners of these thrill-killers’ minds in Talking with Serial Killers: The Sinister Study of Stalkers. As law-enforcement authorities, including the FBI’s elite Behavioral Science Unit, will confirm, the majority of sexual psychopaths gain most of their perverse thrills from the stalking of their unexpecting victims. The target has often been followed and watched for weeks or even months, and sometimes even visited before they are attacked. But the actual kill is frequently less satisfying than the pursuit, after which the murdered victim is usually abandoned or thrown away. Exhaustively studying the case histories of more than sixty modern-day sexually motivated serial murderers—some still alive, others subsequently executed—Berry-Dee zeroes in on the Internet porn industry as one of the main motivating drivers in cultivating fantasy stalking, which can lead to multiple rapes and homicides graduating to serial murder. Even more chilling, anyone who is active on social media has a higher potential to be a stalker’s next target.

About the Author

Born in 1948, Christopher Berry-Dee is descended from Dr. John Dee, Court Astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I, and is the founder and former Director of the Criminology Research Institute (CRI), and former publisher and Editor-in-Chief of The Criminologist, a highly respected journal on matters concerning all aspects of criminology from law enforcement to forensic psychology. Christopher has interviewed and interrogated over thirty of the world’s most notorious killers—serial, mass and one-off—including Peter Sutcliffe, Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, Dennis Nilsen and Joanne Dennehy. He was co-producer/interviewer for the acclaimed twelve-part TV documentary series The Serial Killers, and has appeared on television as a consultant on serial homicide, and, in the series Born to Kill?, on the cases of Fred and Rose West, the Moors Murderers and Dr. Harold Shipman. He has also assisted in criminal investigations as far afield as Russia and the United States. Notable book successes include: Monster (basis for the movie of the same title, about Aileen Wuornos); and the internationally bestselling Talking with Serial Killers and Talking with Psychopaths series.
