A redux/anthology compilation of the most infamous serial killers (all American, except for Chikatilo) covered by LPOTL. Listened to the audiobook while reading the ebook.

While the audiobook is a bit cardboardy, cold and without the flowing camaraderie of the show (missing Marcus' wheezing laughter), the comic book illustrations by Tom Neely are hillarious and add another layer to the audio-only experience the guys have delivered for almost a decade.

I'm not a fan of this particular genre, but unglamourising the serial killers and laughing at them (as opposed to seeing them as role models, idols or heartthrobes, as they wanted to be seen and unfortunately were by a lot of awful fanatics) works as a coping mechanism and an analysis of some of the worst human beings in post-nuclear, cold-war civilisation (no wonder the only non-USA case is from the USSR).

It'd be cool if they released more tomes, each dedicated to different themes LPOTL talks about: cults, cryptids, conspiracy theories, weird American history (Donner Party!) and so on. Maybe in the near future.
