The Gates of Janus: An Analysis of Serial Murder by England's Most Hated Criminal (2015,PDF)


Knjiga sa analizama najpoznatijih svetskih serijskih ubica i njihovih zločina, pisana od strane sigurno najozloglašenijeg britanskog serijskog ubice Ian Brady-a koji je još 60-ih godina sa svojom ljubavnicom mučio, seksualno zlostavljao i ubio najmanje petoro dece. Dakle, ovo nije samo još jedan rad u nizu na temu serijskih ubica, jer ovde po prvi put sve te zločine posmatramo iz ugla čoveka koji ih je i sam činio. Pogovor je napisao Peter Sotos tako da i ta činjenica samo još više daje na značaju ovog dela.


"This highly controversial book, a full-length work written by Ian Brady himself, came about after Colin Wilson suggested that he analyse serial murder in an attempt to come to terms with the crimes he and Hindley committed. Based on his readings, his observations of other incarcerated murderers and his own life story, Brady's work is both psychological and philosophical; it does not, in any sense, glorify his and Hindley's crimes but presents a fascinating look into the mind of a murderer. Clearly of major interest to the general reader, this astonishing and remarkable book will also be essential reading for psychologists, forensic scientists and anyone concerned with the workings of the criminal mind."
