Autobiography of the BTK maniac who inspired Thomas Harris and Stephen King. For the first time, the killer himself talks about his crimes and what prompted him to kill. For thirty years, from 1975 to 2005, a serial killer nicknamed BTK terrorized the city of Wichita, Kansas. He came up with his pseudonym himself, hinting at the method of killing his victims: Bind, Torture, Kill - “bind, torture, kill.” When he was finally caught, the locals were shocked. The bloody sadist turned out to be none other than Dennis Rader, a respected citizen and the head of the local church community. Dennis was extremely organized: he called his victims – real or potential – “projects” and could spend years spying on the townspeople he planned to kill. He came up with acronyms for every aspect of his secret life and kept an organized file cabinet of everything related to the murders. Criminal psychologist Katherine Ramsland did the impossible: she persuaded Dennis Rader, still in prison, to open his soul to the world. After five years of correspondence and telephone conversations, they created BTK's "guided autobiography" - a first-person account of the killer, annotated by a psychologist. For the first time, the maniac tells his story in the most intimate detail - from the first impulses to violence in early childhood until the moment of capture. The book "Revelations of a BTK Maniac" clearly shows how maniacs and psychopaths think and how their perverted fantasies develop into brutal murders. ""Revelations of a BTK Maniac" is the first book that talks about collaboration with a serial killer. Unlike other crime books, it doesn't simply reflect on the crazy thoughts and plans of a predator, but rather immerses the reader in them, revealing in interesting detail how the famous serial killer sees himself at the end of his life." – The New York Times Magazine “For readers interested in the workings of the mind, psychology, true crime and criminal justice, this is a unique work in which the author is a guide to the thought process of a serial killer rather than a recorder of events.” – Library Journal The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
