How the Worst Killers in History Paid for Their Crimes, Vol 1

True Crime enthusiasts will find this engaging book gives not only an insight into the minds of some of the most debauched and evil criminals of the last two centuries, but it also provides a detailed, but interesting and informative description of how they met their demise.

The author has selected some of the foulest killers, who he considers some of the worst criminals to date; many of these are household names for true crime readers; Ted Bundy, Bonnie and Clyde, and Carl Williams. While others, particularly those from the nineteenth century are not as well-known but just as depraved.

While not only graphically relating the horrific crimes, which each of the criminals had committed, the author has also provided an analysis of the actual method of execution and the perpetrator’s last day of life. He has mainly divided the method of their “execution” into four sections; by hanging, guillotine, the chair and the needle. By exploring each method in detail, the author has provided some fascinating factual information about each one.

This no holds barred look at ‘how the worst killers in history paid for their crimes’ is not for the faint hearted or squeamish reader. The author leaves little to the imagination with his graphic, grisly descriptions of some of the worst acts of violence, which were enacted upon their innocent victims.  

Readers will come away with an unsettling feeling of how cruel some humans can be when inflicting pain on others in the most agonizing way.  

There appears to be a Payback 2 in the pipeline.
