Faces of Evil: Kidnappers, Murderers, Rapists and the Forensic Artist Who Puts Them Behind Bars

9 reviews
Lois Gibson, Deanie Francis Mills

New Horizon Press, 2006

Very well written book about pursing evil
The Faces of Evil is a very compelling book about how a tenacious forensic artist can help to put murderers, kidnappers, and rapists behind bars. The story of Lois Gibson is a very interesting one, as a victim of a violent crime herself, she brings much more when she visits when a crime victim than a person who was not a crime victim. Lois Gibson fell into becoming a forensic artist. Her ...

MAKE THIS YOUR NEXT MUST READ! THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES...
Today is August 15. I am a "book-a-holic", 98% of the time non-fiction. In clearing out my massive collection of books a week ago, I stumbled across a 500 page hard copy with no dust jacket I had gotten at a garage sale. I almost tossed it before checking the contents and am beyond glad I didn't. I started reading SON when I got home from my second shift job that night. It was 4 a.m. before I ...

Confessions of the South Side Rapist: 25 Years of Terror in the Gateway City

Mike Murphy

BookSurge Publishing, 2005

Confessions...A Great Read!!
This book is a page turner - I read it in the course of one long evening! I live in Minneapolis and was familiar with Serial Rapist Dennis Rabbitt from A&E Investigative Report documentaries. Murphys book is not the usual fare of true crime procedurals that waste space on the literary racks. He gets into this criminals mind using Rabbitts' own words taken from hours of prison interviews that he ...

Richard Craig Anderson

Georgetown Press, 2008

Page Turner
Richard Anderson's book truly shows his experience and knowledge of law enforcement and investigation. Rivers of Belief is a real page turner. What I enjoyed most about the book was the fact that I had to know what was going to happen next and the ending was a total shock. There is always some twist and turn and a real life aspect to the book that it seems very real. I have read his previous ...

The Rapist File

AuthorHouse, 2000

The most chilling look at the minds of rapists!
In reading this book I was amazed how the authors got into prisons across the country to interview sex offenders. It was frightening reading to see how rapists think about women --how none of us are safe from these creeps. Most amazing of all, many of these rapists didn't think they did anything wrong -- that women "asked" for it. I was also surprised to learn how many sex offenders were ...

Juan Soldado: Rapist, Murderer, Martyr, Saint (American Encounters/Global Interactions)

2 reviews
Paul J. Vanderwood

Duke University Press, 2004

Belief Matters
Vanderwood's book provides a detailed, crackling narrative of a brutal murder-rape in Tijuana in 1938, but also an anatomy of how that famous border-town grew and experienced the agonies of social change during the early twentieth century. The young Mexican soldier executed for the crime is at the center of the story, of course, as are the processes of how he came to be venerated as a sort of ...

Bone-chilling story of a real psychopath
I didn't read this book until after I'd read this author's other book that came out last year, She Wanted It All. Loved that book and decided to try this one. Gotta tell you, this one is pricey, but it's a great book. It's this author's first and she did a bang-up job on it. Really amazing detail, psychological insight. Fascinating case. I'd recommend it to anyone who reads true crime, mysteries, ...

The UNMASKING MARRIED TO A RAPIST

Michael Flynn

Free Press, 1993

The Unmasking: Married to a Rapist
I haven't always looked at this story as a five star story - especially since the drama is my own. Now, 25 years after the fact, I can say that this experience - while utterly horrible and disruptive of our lives - has made me into the woman I am today. For that I am thankful. In August of 2007 Eddie is still in prison. Diana is married, a wonderful mom, and working on her masters degree ...

How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive

4 reviews
Frederic Storaska

Random House Inc (T), 1975

A realistic approach to avoiding rape and injury
The author first exposes the myths of women's self-defense, then moves on to more realistic and effective ways to avoid rape once an attack has started. As a martial artist, I am regularly astonished by the pathetic techniques being taught to women who ought to know how to defend themselves. This book covers all of the non-physical forms of self-defense, starting with treating the attacker like ...

Trespasses: Portrait of a Serial Rapist

5 reviews
Howard Swindle

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1997

WOW
Swindle has done an excellent job here of walking the reader through not only the investigation of the rapes committed, but the background and personality of the criminal, Gilbert Escobedo. The fact that Swindle was able to visit and interview Escobedo several times during his incarceration was, I am sure, immensely helpful. I feel that books like these can actually help prevent crime...in this ...

Dangerous Relationships: Pornography, Misogyny and Rape

Diana E.H. Russell

Sage Publications, Inc, 1998

Guaranteed to Open Eyes
It is very gratifying that someone has published such a wealth of information pertaining to the causal relationship between pornography and violence against women. While the author, Diana Russell, and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum (she, an ardent feminist; I, an unabashed conservative), and while her writing clearly showed her bias toward liberal feminism (she assumed "all ...

Robert Steven Leiterman

AuthorHouse, 2001

Great introduction to the history of the grasslands....
In a world where it seems that nobody cares about the environment, it is good to know that there are still a few out there who do. Robert Leiterman has written a good book that has wonderful knowledge about an area in California called the Great Valley Grassland. He has managed to weave into a fun story the natural and cultural history of the area, along with little tidbits of knowledge of the ...

Joy S Eyman

Stein and Day, 1980

Extremely helpful for rape victims to prepare for a trial!!
Being a rape survivor and feeling nervous about having to testify in a trial, I wanted to prepare myself as best as I could for the upcoming ordeal. After looking at several different books, "How To Convict a Rapist" was by far the best and most helpful one. This book is full of excellent tips and important information that all rape victims that have to testify should know! After reading it ...

The Diary of a Rapist: A Novel

1 review
Evan S. Connell

Ecco Pr, 1995

Deeply Disturbing
This is the diary of a rapist. It is also an exploration of the degenerating thought patterns of this man's mind. The first thing one notices about this work is the lack of abject sexuality...there are no long erotic dream sequences, no detailed review of violent acts, no endless explorations into kinky sex. Our main character (I refuse to use the term "anti-hero") thinks of himself as a ...

Insomniac Press, 2000

AWESOME
This book is fast-paced and great. It will grab you from the start and bang you around right to the end. I can't wait for someone to make this book a movie. It would be perfect. Much better than Silence of the Lambs and just enough supernatural to make you think.

Norman L. Wolfson

AuthorHouse, 2001

Roller-coaster ride through big-time P.R.
Fasten your seatbelts for a wild ride through Norman Wolfson's roller-coaster life as a P.R. man! Wolfson's "Life's Snapshots" are literally verbal photographs of his experiences - full of excitement, tensions, threats and some very famous people. His long personal friendship with the great sports columnist Red Smith has the tender overtones of "Tuesdays with Maurie." But his equally long ...

Dead And Buried: A Shocking Account of Rape, Torture, and Murder on the California Coast

Corey Mitchell

Pinnacle, 2003

You won't be able to put it down!
I loved reading anything by, the late, great Jack Olsen and his passing left me wondering if I would ever read another good true crime book. Enter Corey Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell writes the kind of book that you just can't put down. I won't go into details of the book, that's for you to find out. But I will say, you won't be disappointed!

Understanding Sexual Violence: A Study of Convicted Rapists (Perspectives on Gender)

1 review
Diana Scully

Routledge, 1990

excellent
This is an excellent book which takes an in depth look at convicted rapists in an attempt to understand why men rape. It's not a perfect study, as the author freely admits, because it only includes men who have actually been convicted and incarcerated for rape. But despite the limitations of the sample, the book does an excellent job of attempting to answer the question "why do men rape?". ...
