Deranged: The Shocking True Story of America's Most Fiendish Killer 61 reviews Harold Schechter
Pocket, 1990
Could it be?
+ Schecter's best + Cant Put This Book Down
This book kept me at the edge of my seat... or pillow, depending on what time of day I was reading. It was an easy read, but yet gripping and almost to much to believe.
I must know, is this truly fact, or fiction? If you look at page 3, you see a note that reads "This book is a work of ...

Among the Cannibals: Adventures on the Trail of Man's Darkest Ritual 4 reviews Paul Raffaele
Collins, 2008
Great read, some disturbing parts....
+ More a travel account than real anthropology, but highly enjoyable + Travel Narrative that treks to the heart of cannibalism
Among the Cannibals is a fascinating book for anyone interested in other cultures and their practices - religious or otherwise. What makes this book particularly amazing is that the author truly did find people that are today practicing cannibalism. Raffaele even manages to make it seem acceptable ...

Eat Thy Neighbour: A History of Cannibalism 3 reviews Daniel Diehl, Mark Donnelly

How can one learn more about anthropophagy?
+ Very Informative
By reading this delightful book about a truly undelightful practice. Usual societal mores view eating the flesh of another human as distasteful, not an easy topical read, and a difficult subject matter for some to swallow (poor puns intended).
How best to examine the scattered historical ...
