À propos de cet e-book

This “delightfully creepy” New York Times bestseller from the award-winning horror-comedy podcast team takes deep dives into nine infamous serial killers (Booklist).

Since its first show in 2010, The Last Podcast on the Left has barreled headlong into all things horror, covering subjects spanning Jeffrey Dahmer, Jonestown, and various supernatural phenomena. Deeply researched but with a morbidly humorous bent, the podcast has earned a dedicated and aptly cultlike following for its unique take on all things macabre.

In their first book, the guys take a deep dive into history’s most infamous serial killers, from Ted Bundy to John Wayne Gacy, exploring their origin stories, haunting habits, and perverse predilections. Featuring newly developed content alongside updated fan favorites, each profile is an exhaustive examination of the darker side of human existence. With appropriately creepy four-color illustrations throughout, The Last Book on the Left will satisfy the bloodlust of readers everywhere.

“A fully illustrated compendium that revisits in print nine of the most notorious killers covered on the podcast, re-investigating the subjects and going through two rounds of fact-checking to provide definitive accounts of murderers from John Wayne Gacy to the Son of Sam to Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, which at the same time question their mythical status in our collective psyche and nightmares.”–Rolling Stone
