“The Sons of Cain” is a global history of serial killers as a phenomenon covering a huge time period, from the Stone Age to the present day, set out by a professional forensic historian, a doctor of historical sciences. This is a detailed study of the phenomenon of serial killers throughout the history of mankind, their evolution and why their terrifying crimes occupy our minds so much.
before this term began to be widely used (since 1981), there were no serial killers . There were only “monsters” - killers, whom society first perceived as werewolves, vampires, ghouls and witches, and later as Hichkokovsky psychos.
In the “Sons of Cain” - a book that fills the gap between dry academic research and sensational crimes - Peter Vronsky explores our understanding of what serial murders are, covering the period from the prehistoric era (c. 15,000 BC) to the present day. Going into history and human psyche, the author focuses exclusively on sexual serial killers, which differ from all other serial killers with their motives.
They are among us. They cannot be distinguished from ordinary people
