About this ebook

Randy Kraft was highly intelligent, politically active, loyal to his friends, committed to his work--and the killer of 67 people--more than any other serial killer known. This book offers a glimpse into the dark mind of a living monster. "To open this book is to open a peephole into hell".--Associated Press. Photographs.

Ratings and reviews

As the sister of one of his victims, after reading this book, I can tell you that this reporter did not get his facts straight before he had this book published. The information about my family is mostly untrue and the quotes by my parents are the only true evidence in this book. Therefore I did not believe most of what I read here. As you read this book, read it with that in mind. I was not happy that this reporter did not dig a little further to get his information on the victims and their grieving families.The impression I got of this book was that this "author" was only writing this book because he was hoping to make $$$$$$$!!!! It broke my heart to see the photos in this book, knowing that one of them is the last photo of my brother that was ever taken! So many of the victims' families have suffered throughout the years of the trial and continue to suffer with the loss of a loved one. May all of the 67 or more of his victims rest in peace!! They did not deserve what he did to them, but in the end God will be the one that Randy Kraft has to answer to!

Very interesting and hard to believe not many would even know who his name. Hopefully he's dead by now or getting tortured in some way.

A very scary and evil man. What strikes me most is his absolute assertion that he is innocent. No remorse or feelings of regret for raping, torturing and killing a small army of young men. Monsters are real and one of them is named Randy Kraft
