وصف الناشر
The art of murder knows many forms, but few more harrowing than murder for reasons of ritual or the supernatural. Supposedly serving a higher cause, they are often little more than acts of self-gratifying blood-lust. Voodoo Killers chronicles the disturbing history of ritualistic killing around the world, with shocking examples of human sacrifice from past and present, voodoo hexes, sexual slavery and satanic murder. It is a history that incorporates vampires, serial killers and rapists as well as institutionalized killers such as the Aztec high priests and Spanish Inquisitors who
murdered in the name of religion. Murder does not come much worse than this – premeditated, organized, ritualized and, in the past,accepted as permissible. The Voodoo Killers stand alone in the annals of horror.

Great Book, could use better editing
I came across this book because I like stories of New Orleans Voodoo culture. There wasn't much of that per se, but I did learn that I enjoy reading about crazy serial killers and cult leaders.
The book does a great job at giving you nicely formulated stories that cover a variety of killers and human atrocities, from ancient Aztec culture and human sacrifices, to modern day crazies, cults, and killers.
Each section covered a different killer, and the sections were an appropriate length to keep me interested.
But the grammar could be improved upon. Missing commas where there would really have needed to be one, and commas where there shouldn't be any, made for some confusing sentences that I needed to read a few times.
I'm not perfect with my grammar either, so I'm able to take it for what it is. If you can too, then overall it's a worthwhile read. It makes a great first venture into the genre of True Crime.
