Issue 2
Web: http://serialkillercalendar.com
Serial Killer Magazine is a dark and horrid thrill. Most of us
don’t want to admit how much we are fascinated by Serial Killers and yet we
watch every crime show on TV, dwell on the news and just love those special
docos, especially the ones that offer every possible grizzly detail. We pretend
to look away or cover our eyes, but if we were honest, we would admit we always
take a peak !
Serial Killer Magazine does away with all the pretence and
gives the reader what they want, a magazine dedicated to the study of Serial
Killers as the perfect criminal enigma. No excuses, no justifications – Serial
Killers and lots of them.
As soon as you receive the magazine you are stunned by just
how damn good it looks. This magazine is a work of “dark art” in itself –
packed with incredible illustrations, rare source documents, wanted posters,
comics and more - it is startling, confronting and down right intense.
When you get to the articles they are superbly well
researched and presented, they range from excellent solid studies on the
history of Serial Killers and Cannibals to the more general such as the Top Ten
most Vile Killers. There are lots of specialist focus articles on killers such
as BTK, Bundy and Gacy. What sets these
apart is the use of primary source materials, there are lots of scans of
original documents, letters and news articles - indeed there is even a page of
Serial Killer signatures !
The diversity of content in this issue is impressive, from
serious studies to irreverent humour, from rare interviews to the bizarre
famous last words of killers as they went to the chair. I especially like the
last words of George Appel, who in 1928, as he went to the electric chair,
offered the witty retort of “well gentlemen, you are about to see a baked
appel”.
Issue One is already sold out and considering the demand for
Issue two it won’t be around forever either. This is a quirky, bizarre and
unusual magazine filled to the brim with madness, death, art and history. Get a
copy soon before you miss out !
While you are their check out some of there other stuff, they
have an awesome site packed with everything you would want to know about Serial
Killers (and a lot you may not !) and some great products ranging from
Calendars to collector cards !
