About The Book
Dive into the disturbed psyches of some of histories most notorious female serial killers with interviews from the detectives, husbands and victims that saw the horror firsthand.
“Don’t be fooled by me. Don’t be fooled by the face that I wear for I wear a thousand masks; masks that I’m afraid to take off and none of them are me. Pretending is an art that is second nature to me but do not be fooled. For God’s sake don’t be fooled.”
-Judy Buenoano, shortly before her death row execution
“I fell to the ground but the attack continued. I was just waiting for it to stop. There was loads and loads of blood. As I lay there, I thought, this is where I am going to die.”
-John Rogers to a trial jury, describing an attack by Joanna Dennehy
“I’m a good person inside, but when I get drunk, I just don’t know...I’ve got nothing to lose...What am I supposed to do?...It was all their fault and that’s the God’s honest truth.”
-Aileen “Lee” Carol Wuornos, inspiration for the 2003 film Monster
“She said, ‘You’d never believe about some of the things we are doing at the nursing home.’ I knew things were out of control.”
-Ken Wood, estranged husband of “Lethal Lover” Cathy May Wood
“[They] left my mother in such a distorted, dismembered and ashened state that she was identifiable only by her dental record. My life has been ripped apart at the seams...”
-Steve White, son of Virginia Susan Caudill’s murder victim
