Seller's Description:
Very Good. Book Octavo, softcover, small chip at bottom corner of cover else VG in black pictorial wraps with skull on cover. 191 pp. including index. After tracing in quick, narrative strokes the history of cannibalism back to ancient China and recounting notorious crimes like those of Sawney Bean, who consumed more than one thousand victims over a period of twenty-five years in sixteenth-century Scotland, Moira Martingale chronicles the exploits of those few, uncommon criminals who have killed for flesh in the twentieth century. Among the subjects in Martingale's gallery are Jeffrey Dahmer, the murderer of seventeen young men; Edward Gein, who resorted to cannibalism after the death of his mother and provided Alfred Hitchcock with the role model for Norman Bates in Psycho, and, most infamous of all, reputedly the worst cannibal killer in modern history, the dreaded Russian Andrei Chokatilo.
