I was gonna say "the same reason people find serial killers interesting"
But seems you prefer motivation by perverted lusts to pure greed? Wich is all fine.
Thanks for mentioning Albert Fish btw, hadn't heard of him before. More gruesome killings for me to read about before bed :D

Usually Albert Fish is held as some kind of a measure stick of depravity.
There are more interesting criminals though- Issei Sagawa or "nevada girl" comes to mind.
Most serial killers are neither as quirky nor intelligent as pop culture would like them to be though.

He also hit himself repeatedly with a nail-studded paddle and inserted wool doused with lighter fluid into his anus and set it alight.
