"Sons of Cain" is a global history of serial killers as a phenomenon, covering a huge time period, from the Stone Age to the present day, outlined by a professional forensic historian, Doctor of Historical Sciences. This is an in-depth study of the phenomenon of serial killers throughout human history, their evolution and why their horrific crimes occupy our minds. Before the term began to be widely used (since 1981), there were no "serial killers". There were only "monsters"—killers whom society first perceived as werewolves, vampires, ghouls and witches, and later as Hitchcockian psychos. In Sons of Cain, a book that bridges the gap between dry academic research and sensational crime, Peter Wronsky explores our understanding of serial murder, spanning the period from prehistory (c. 15,000 BC) to the present day. Delving into history and the human psyche, the author focuses exclusively on sexy serial killers who are different from all other serial killers in their motives. They are among us. They cannot be distinguished from ordinary people...The publishing layout is saved in a4.pdf format.
