John Wayne Gacy prepares a special dinner for one of his guests - who is unaware of the fact they will be the dessert. An excerpt from the forthcoming audiobook Psychobabble: A Collection of Short Stories About Serial Killers To be narrated by John Michael Kuczynski.

In Ripper Reborn, author Brian Lee Tucker examines the case from a more personal point of view, as the Yorkshire Ripper himself, Peter Sutcliffe, speaks to a court-appointed criminal psychologist about the aftermath of his heinous crimes - providing a chilling look into the mind of the man who considered himself sort of a "Jack the Ripper, reborn".

As cozy as their house had seemed, there was a cold secret beneath the house. At the bottom of the basement stairs and beyond a small pond-like sized puddle was where evil lived. It was the only part of the house that was always cold and damp no matter the time of day or time of year. Structurally speaking, it was part of the house but there were two, perhaps three steps that separated home from hell.

Based on excerpts from his own true confessions, Costume Party delves into the mind of one of the most prolific serial killers in American history, deep into the psychosis that was John Wayne Gacy's mind, a dark, terrifying place where most of society has never ventured - or would ever want to.

The typical serial rapist leads a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde life, undetected by neighbors, co-workers, even family. He may work his way through dozens or even hundreds of victims before he's caught - assuming he ever is. Who are these men and what makes them tick? A small band of criminologists and psychologists make it their life's work to find out, devising elaborate psychological profiles of specific rapists.

Herb Baumeister seemed to have the perfect life; a loving wife, two beautiful children, a summer home getaway, and his own chain of thrift stores. But hidden behind his clever disguise of normalcy was a totally unbalanced, schizophrenic mind filled with violent sexual fantasies that could only be fulfilled by carrying out his fantasies through the act of autoerotic asphyxiation, torture, and murder.

True crime author Brian Lee Tucker takes a 360-degree turn with Crimes of the Heart, a collection of poetry and prose written between 2001 and 2013. His style is diverse, yet will appeal to all fans of poetry and prose. His range extends from love poems to vampire sonnets to, yes, even a zombie apocalypse, but his material still manages to elicit the desired effect from his listeners regardless.

An excerpt from the forthcoming audiobook collection, Psychobabble: A Collection of Short Stories About Serial Killers.

This is the first section of the forthcoming book chronicling serial killer Richard Ramirez' hellish descent into the occult and murder.

"Some people think I was born to kill other people, like it was bred into me, like I had been born with some kind of 'killer gene' in my blood. That's a bunch of bulls--t, though. Those head-shrinkers, they don't know the half of it. I just like killing other people, really, always have." So says the Valentine Killer, speaking of his past - and future.

Henry Lee Lucas was born in a one-room log cabin in Blacksburg, Virginia, the youngest of nine children to Viola Dixon Waugh and Anderson Lucas. His alcoholic prostitute mother often beat him and dressed him up in girl's clothing and made him watch her service her johns while his crippled father watched on helplessly.

>"A bullet to the front of the head demonstrates good marksmanship. A bullet to the back of the head demonstrates good judgment." So quotes John Wesley Hardin, one of the infamous killers of the old west. But, like modern day killer Henry Lee Lucas, was he more of a bragger than a killer? Or was he more of a serial killer than a gun slinger? Was it the loss of his only love, Jane Bowen that drove him over the edge? Or was he just born to be a killer? Find out.

Katie Elder was more, much more, than the title character in John Wayne's 1965 western,The Sons of Katie Elder. She was more than the portrayal by Faye Dunaway in the 1971 film, Doc." Katie Elder was a real person, whose background was perhaps more plaid than checkered. Some historians of the Old West believe she was Mrs. Doc Holliday, and some don't. Either way, she was quite a bit more than the "plainswoman" that revisionist history books call her.

According to the American Heritage dictionary, a serial killer is "a person who attacks and kills victims one by one in a series of incidents." In this audiobook, I examine quite a few serial killers and what I refer to as "fledgling serial killers," in order to give the listener a bird's eye view into the killer's past, which most vary in some way or another, to possibly understand why these men and women become the monsters they do. Will we ever really understand the serial killer? Now that, my friends, is a question for the ages.

In The Dead Girls, author Brian Lee Tucker examines the lives of six different women who, having lived on the streets for far too long, have now been pushed over the edge of sanity - and have finally become what they themselves had always feared the most. Among them is Donna, the fledgling serial killer who, born with a facial deformity that made her a social outcast, now peels the faces off of beautiful girls to wear as her own; and Gina, a barfly whose tendency to be promiscuous has led her into the lair of a murderous Picasso....

Alex Baker had never known what real pain and heartache was until now. The feelings he’d had to endure since his fiancée's brutal murder made him feel powerless over his own destiny. And crimes like these - unexpected, violent, and forever - are hard enough to bear without the fact that the victim’s killer has yet to be brought to justice. He’d always been taught that everything happened for a purpose - and at times even a higher purpose - but at that point in time, that was hard for him to swallow. And lately, his thoughts had been leaning more toward revenge.

Over the last few years, I have done an extensive amount of research into many serial killers. A lot of them have shared common traits, such as childhood abuse, bed-wetting, starting fires, and animal cruelty. Then again, some of them have not shared any common traits at all, yet have committed the same type of heinous crimes. But, one common trait a lot of them have shared is their propensity for making really, really dumb and stupid mistakes that resulted in their capture - when they possessed a relatively high IQ.

I have had a lot of people ask me what my fascination is with serial killers, or murder in general. My answer has always been the same: I have absolutely no fascination with this subject matter at all, only simple curiosity as to how and why all of these killers became what they were. In the '70s, as a teenager, true-crime magazines filled the corner news stands and the supermarket checkout lanes, and what few channels we could receive through our home antenna were always showcasing the latest news on the rampage by killers.

Featured in this short but sweet collection are some of the most feared serial killers in history, including Henry Lee Lucas, Edmund Kemper, Jeffrey Dahmer, Aileen Wournos, and John Wayne Gacy, being among the “honored guests” whose stories are guaranteed to make your skin crawl....
