Serial Killer - Edmund Kemper III

A story of haunting and eerie stalking leading up to death. The twisted mind of Edmund Kemper III.

Many unknown serial killers are prowling the homes, schools, and streets of this nation. Only a few have been caught.

This book will take you on a terrifying journey inside the mind of one of the first known serial kilers. In the early 70s, Edmund Kemper III stalked young women on the coastline of California. Against these scenic backdrops, he butchered his mother, her friend and six coeds.

Why-The Serial Killer in America

As this book explores the depth of Kemper's madness, it reveals the elements that all serial killers have in common, and why our culture is for them a kind of petri dish.

"A chilling but important journey into the mind of a serial killer...riveting and instructive."

His six previous murders had been so carefully planned and carried out. He had picked up young female hitchhikers, women with whom he’d had no previous contact and, after he’d killed them, he took great care to conceal their identities and eliminate evidence.

It would only be a matter of time until her body and that of her friend, whom he’d also dispatched, were discovered. - (read more)

Kemper is no Charles Manson though.

In 1969, he became one of history's infamous villains, presented by the media as evil incarnate. CHARLES MANSON SUPERSTAR sets the record straight after years of media disinformation, and features an exclusive interview with Manson which allows him to speak for the first time without being censored or sanitized, as well as rare archival footage, police documents and photos. Filmed on location at San Quentin Prison, Spahn Ranch, Death Valley.
