Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Helen Morrison has spent decades face-to-face with killers most people only read about. In prisons and interrogation rooms, she has logged hundreds of hours with more than 80 serial murderers, probing the minds of those who live for violence.
In My Life Among the Serial Killers, Morrison recounts chilling encounters with John Wayne Gacy, who sent her Christmas cards and gifted her his paintings, and Ed Gein, whose crimes inspired Psycho. She unpacks her sessions with the “Mad Biter” Richard Otto Macek, who believed she was his wife, as well as Fred and Rosemary West, Wayne Williams, and other infamous names.
This disturbing yet illuminating memoir reveals her provocative findings about why serial killers kill, how they select victims, and what might stop them.
