Summary
The Serial Killer Travel Guide Across America isn’t your typical road trip companion. This darkly fascinating guide is quirky and unconventional and takes readers on a darkly humorous journey through the United States, exploring notorious locations linked to infamous serial killers. From the shadowy forests of the Pacific Northwest to the sun-bleached basements of suburbia, each stop offers true crime devotees an unsettling glimpse into the macabre. Designed like a 1960s-style travel guide, this campy book offers a coast-to-coast tour, showcasing select spots and delving into the twisted histories of the perpetrators. Blending history, psychology, and a hint of gallows humor, this book is part travel guide, part true crime encyclopedia, and fully addictive.
Whether you’re planning a dark tourism pilgrimage or just indulging your morbid curiosity from the safety of your couch, The Serial Killer Travel Guide Across America will take you closer to the truth—and the horror—than you ever thought possible.
On Today's TCT, Tim sits down with the author of The Serial Killer Travel Guide Across America: Your Coast To Coast Tour of Terror, Johnny Trevisani, and asks him about who is hiding in his own stomping grounds of the Midwest, why Johnny's love of dive bars takes center stage? Is there a city or state he doesn't hate?! and we get DEEP into the mindsets and motives of some of the best in the serial killer game!
