Resumen del Editor
This is no ordinary true crime book. If you think you've got the stomach for the most blood-curdling, sickening and downright strangest murders you will ever come across, then look no further than these pages. You have been warned...
Take, for example, Enriqueta Marti who kidnapped children from the streets of Barcelona, then boiled away their flesh and crushed their bones for ingredients for her coveted 'magic potions'.
Or take Randy Kraft, known as The Scorecard Killer, a computer genius by day and a deranged psychopath by night. Finally arrested with a corpse slumped in the passenger seat of his car, it emerged that Kraft had spent over a decade cutting up and disposing of his numerous victims along the California highways.
In this stomach-churning collection, all the stories have one thing in common - a unique bizarre twist. True crime writer James Marrison draws upon the material that has featured in the hugely successful column The Murder File in cult magazine Bizarrein order to disclose the kind of sickening deeds that are perpetrated more often than you might think, but which sometimes go largely unreported by the media. Welcome to The World's Most bizarre Murders - the most shocking true crime book you will ever read.

Historia
In this fascinating, in-depth account of the hunt for serial killers, Colin Wilson, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, examines the ways they can be tracked down and caught, from the tried-and-true methods of the early 20th century to the high-tech processes in use today. Wilson examines such areas as psychological profiling, genetic fingerprinting, and the launch of the Behavioral Science Unit. He delves into the importance of fantasy to serial killers, the urge to keep on killing, the desire to become notorious, and murder as an addictive drug.

There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

The dead talk - to the right listener. They can tell us all about themselves: where they came from, how they lived, how they died, and, of course, who killed them. Forensic scientists can unlock the mysteries of the past and help serve justice using the messages left by a corpse, a crime scene, or the faintest of human traces.

Interesting Book, TERRIBLE Narrator/Production
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Oh, just the narration and production. Clearly this was either sloppily done, or rushed to completion. There are many false starts, flubs and 2nd takes that should have been edited out of the final master. You'll hear the narrator read the same line two, and sometimes three times until he gets it right.
What didn’t you like about Drew Campbell’s performance?
Though his inflection is fine his mispronunciations and flubs are numerous. At first it was kind of funny to hear him say things like "Sodium Penthonol", (instead of Sodium PENTothol) and "Drink Driving", (instead of DRUNK Driving) but eventually it really annoys you and takes you out of the book. Some other gems include "Judicinal System" and Shrever Port Louisiana. Once again, this might be because the production of the audio book was rushed or sloppy. You can't blame the guy for flubbing some things or pronouncing them incorrectly if he's not familiar with them, but come on! Catch it before it gets posted to Audible!
Any additional comments?
If you can get past the terrible narration and production the content is actually fascinating. A little gory at times, but definitely interesting for the true crime fan. Also, since each chapter is self-contained and not too long it makes for a great back-and-forth-to-work kind of listen.

Did anyone listen to this first?
Would you try another book from James Marrison and/or Drew Campbell?
The book is interesting, covering famous and unknown murders/murderers. Many of them I had read in books, but there were some that were "new" to me.
What didn’t you like about Drew Campbell’s performance?
I have no doubt that it is difficult to sit and read outloud for multiple hours, but I keep wondering if no one actually edited this. The accent isn't an issue, but the mispronunciations of name & places is very distracting. Plus there are many areas where the reader hesitates & corrects himself (which is fine, but didn't anyone think to cut these parts out?) I've listened to hundreds of audio books in my life,but this has to be the worst editing I've ever heard. I don't blame the reader, just whoever put this on the market before it was finished.

Ok but not great
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
For the most part yes. A lot of data/events but not very detailed on any one event.

Fewer events with deeper analysis of each case.

I did not care for the performance. It is evident that there was not much editing....if any.

It was ok, but not riviting.

A WONDERFUL READ!
What made the experience of listening to The World's Most Bizarre Murders the most enjoyable?
I first checked out the reviews before I bought this book. Seeing all the negative ones made me a bit skeptical but I went ahead and bought it anyway. . being a true crime buff. I was presently surprised. The story was very interesting and the murders were most definitely bizarre.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The World's Most Bizarre Murders?
Most of the crimes were ones I had never heard of before. I'm shocked at the brutality and twisted thinking of the criminals in this book.
What about Drew Campbell’s performance did you like?
The author did a great job. I didn't notice any mispronunciations. If they're were any, I was too enthralled in the book to notice. Those who complained of "drink driving" need an education on how other countries describe the crime. Only in America do we call it drunk driving. Drink driving is the appropriate form of the noun elsewhere.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I never wanted to put the book down!
Any additional comments?
If you love true crime, disregard the negative reviews. You will most certainly love this book as much as I did.

Took a While to Get Used To
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I'd recommend it to anyone who likes true crime stuff, with a cautionary word about the reader. I was able to get used to his voice, but it is rather strange.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The World's Most Bizarre Murders?
It wasn't a fiction book, so it's really hard to answer this question. Audible should differentiate the questions for fiction and non-fiction, really :-p
Have you listened to any of Drew Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was the first book I bought of his, and it'll probably be the last (save the one I already bought, I got two at once). It's not as horrible as some other reviewers have said, but it is weird. His accent is very weird, like it's not real or something. That's really all that's wrong, though. He does a good job with the reading part.
Any additional comments?
All in all, it was a pretty great book. A few cases I already knew, but mostly stuff that I haven't, which is getting rarer and rarer with all the true crime stuff I read about and watch on TV. It gets a very good 8/10 from me.

did no one edit this reader???
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one. No one ever. I have no idea if the story is any good because the reader was so bad.
Would you ever listen to anything by James Marrison again?
as long as it wasn't read by Drew Campbell, I might consider it.
What didn’t you like about Drew Campbell’s performance?
He Can't Read Out Loud. Or maybe he just didn't get the performance cleaned up by an editor. Either way, totally wrecked the book for me.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The World's Most Bizarre Murders?
who knows? I missed out on most of it because I was so distracted by the reader.
Any additional comments?
The reader continually reads a sentence, starts it again, breaks off in the middle and gives the sentence a different reading, mispronounces names and just words in general and corrects himself constantly.Did NO ONE ever edit this book before unsuspecting people bought it??? Every time I got settled into his reading, he'd pull another mistake and I just ended up stopping listening to it all together. I wish I could return this one! What a loss!
