Dude, that guy's a punk. Carl Panzram would have taken that 18 year old boy for a walk, raped the shit out of him, THEN robbed him, THEN killed him, and would have done 20 more times before getting caught and killing someone in prison to force the state's hand and get himself executed because he was tired of living.
Though I guess freaking out Canadians is cool too.

panzram was entertaining, but i like the quiet, creepy guys more. joachim kroll, des nilsen - that type.

HH Holmes is my all time favorite, however.

holmes is interesting, i agree, but i've yet to read anything new on him that develops him as a person. i guess he's so well-known that everything that can be said has been said already.
i'm a big fan of edmund kemper too. and there are some fun, if only partly true, tales of chikatilo.

I don't mind that the character is a little oblique, I just like the tapestry of facts.
I also am interested in the serial killers that don't act alone. I was reading about one guy who had two teenage boy lovers that helped him and eventually ended up killing him.
edit: Ed Kemper is pretty amazing. I also just love that he was a crazy, murderous giant.

bittaker and norris had a bad couple of books written about them. henry lee lucas and ottis toole are a marvel, though.
edit: kemper had a brilliant sense of humour. he made a lot of great jokes about his mother, befroe and after he killed her.
