      Cult-favorite horror-comedy podcast Last Podcast on the Left brings its morbid humor and astute research to the page. The hosts and authors delve deep into the ghastly worlds of nine infamous serial killers, from Ted Bundy to Jeffrey Dahmer. Each chapter is a meticulously researched probe into the dark recesses of humanity. The recent surge in true crime's popularity has produced a plethora of media that glorify and romanticize these murderers, but this book seeks to do the opposite. Using their signature macabre humor, the authors tear apart the commonly believed myths that built these demons into legends, and expose them as fallible beings. Though the authors have covered all of these men on the podcast, fans will be pleased to find fresh content. You don't need to be a listener to enjoy the book; it will appeal to anyone who likes their true crime with a side of comedy. Delightfully creepy illustrations by Tom Neely pepper the pages, lending an eerie aesthetic element. This book will terrify you while making you laugh out loud.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
