An equal parts haunting and hilarious deep-dive review of history's most notorious and cold-blooded serial killers, from the creators of the award-winning Last Podcast on the Left

Deeply researched but with a morbidly humorous bent, the podcast has earned a dedicated and aptly cult-like following for its unique take on all things macabre.

In their first book, the guys take a deep dive into history's most infamous serial killers, from Ted Bundy to John Wayne Gacy, exploring their origin stories, haunting habits, and perverse predilections. Featuring newly developed content alongside updated fan favorites, each profile is an exhaustive examination of the darker side of human existence.

Get your diapers on !

Honestly I'm biased because they make the best damn podcast around. I wasn't as much into podcast before a friend made me listen to them which I initially said "Can't stand the whiny one who does voices" but after a while I got to love Ben Kissel my giant god overlord ! Hail Kissel and most of all Hail yourselves

So good

If you are a LPOTL fan, you will love this book. And if you ARENT a fan, you will still love this book. It is a wealth of knowledge, expertly written, but somehow light and fun so not to terrify the reader. Let this be the only source you will ever need on the killers they discussed - it's that good. The boys nailed it and having them read the audiobook makes it even more special.

Very Entertaining

These guys know how to deliver a story that's excellently researched and manage to make some horrific topics super entertaining. It's definitely a bit awkward compared to the podcast, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and wish it didn't end!

Fantastic!!!

I really enjoyed this book. It was well-researched and we'll written with funny commentary throughout to help with the depressing nature of serial killers, exactly like the podcast. I definitely would recommend this book to other true crime fans

Definitely does the podcast justice!

If you’re a fan of the boys and the podcast this book is for you. A wonderful deep dive into some of the major heavy hitters with added information and insight. I love the podcast and thoroughly enjoyed this book. Ben, Henry and Marcus do a terrific job of being informative, funny, respectful and bringing a light heartedness to some pretty heavy subject matter. A must read for all fans of the podcast and serial killer lore.

The boy did it again!

Die hard LPOTL fan and couldn't wait to read when I can buy the paperback so decided on this. Marcus has his sexy radio voice on narrating most of the story with side bits from Henry & Ben, a similar dynamic as their usual episodes. They all admit Marcus wrote 90% of the book, hats off to Marcus for being such a captivating writer and story teller. Y'all DID that sh*t!
