You are now listening to True Murder, the most shocking killers in true crime history,

and the authors that have written about them.

Gacy, Bundy, Domer, the Night Stalker, BTK, every week, another fascinating author talking

about the most shocking and infamous killers in true crime history.

True Murder, with your host, journalist and author, Dan Zupatsky.

Good evening, this is your host, Dan Zupatsky, for the program True Murder, the most shocking

killers in true crime history, and the authors that have written about them.

In the horrifying annals of American crime, infamous names of brutal killers such as Bundy,

Domer, Gacy, and Berkowitz are writ large in the imaginations of a public both horrified

and hypnotized by their monstrous, murderous acts.

But for every celebrity psychopath who's gotten ink for spilling blood, there's a bevy

of all but forgotten homicidal fiends studying the bloody margins of US history, spurred by

profit, passion, paranoia, or perverse pleasure.

These killers, the witch of statin island, the smuddy nose butcher, the blue beard of

quiet Dell, and many others, spend three centuries in a host of harrowing murder methods.

These demonic denizens may be long gone to the gallows, but this insidiously irresistible

slice of Gothic Americana will ensure that they'll no longer be forgotten.

The book that we're featuring this evening is Psycho-USA, American Psycho-Killers You've

Never Heard Of, with my special guest, journalist and author and professor, Harold Schechter.

Welcome to the program, and thank you for agreeing to this interview, Harold Schechter.

Thank you.

A pleasure to be here, thank you for inviting me.
