really?
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'm somewhat new to the whole serial-killer-fascination scene, I just learned about Holmes recently
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.

dean corll - he was great!
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.
