You, me, the general public, have a fascination for true crime accounts of people like Bundy, and fictional depictions of similar characters in television shows such as Criminal Minds and Dexter. We have a macabre interest in real life serial killers and can't comprehend the pure lack of remorse of these monsters. But yet we can't get enough. So we watch these shows and buy these books and read about these abhorrent yet fascinating criminals. Serial Killers Iterum is one such work that fulfils our insatiable obsession with serial killers in this terrifying, and bloodcurdling short story collection.

I have always been fascinated by the dark stuff. I remember searching out true crime paperbacks armed only with my curiosity and a flashlight in the dankest catacombs of my favorite bookstores long before searching was made easy by having an entire section devoted to such darkness. Everybody loves that dark stuff now. Spree killers and homicidal maniacs are just as likely to be known for having groupies as they are to be feared for playing pin the carcass to the bloodredwood or going all postal and mailing a pair of severed lips to their high school sweetheart. Now, reading fans of these sociopathic overachievers can rejoice because they/we have their/our own anthology.Writer and editor James Ward Kirk has gathered together a renegade crew of writers to deliver some of the most blood curdlingly gruesome prose and poetry to ever be spilled between the covers of a book. If you like it sick, like me, this is a must read. Split into three sections of creative beef we are treated to poetry, flash fiction and short stories with all the sublety of being handed a severed head and told to make out with it. Who wouldn't love that? I liked every single one of these scribblings. I enjoy nothing more than discovering some great new writers to read and all of those assembled here by James Ward Kirk have now been placed at the top of my "yes-more-please" list.
For thrill seekers and blood drinkers alike, longing to be whisked away straight into the bowels of hell and shat out of the end zone, this is essential reading. I promise you will enjoy the ride.
James has some other anthologies that deal with dark themes like grave robbing and Hell itself, and I can't wait to check them all out as well. You can grab yourself a copy of Serial Killer Iterum here-

Serial Killers Iterum Paula D Ashe James Ward Kirk 9780615774770 Books Reviews
This is a surprisingly good and varied collection of stories and poems about serial killers - fictional and otherwise. It's the kind of collection that stays with you and makes you wonder what makes these monsters tick. My favorite story is called "Between Catskill and Cooperstown" - and don't let the passive-sounding title fool you. It will draw you in, rattle your tummy, and ultimately shock you. One note - through a little digging I found that the earliest editions of this had a printing error and did not include the full version of that story and was missing the ending and a few other pages - but it seems all is now corrected and ALL orders will receive the full, correct, and horrifying story. Enjoy!
Serial Killers Iterum is a collection of poetry, flash fiction pieces and short stories, all edited by James Ward Kirk, under the umbrella of his publishing company of the same name. Kirk has brought together some of the darkest works I have encountered in a very long time and many of the pieces, can only be described as sinister and taboo.
Poetry
From the first poem, which is The Rebel, by Brian Rosenberg, the reader fully understands what is at the heart of this anthology. Rosenberg brings us the facts, fast and honestly; a serial killer, a successful one that is, will hide in plain sight. He will be in the cubicle next to ours, and be the model employee until he goes home and removes the mask of John Q. Public, to become a killer with multiple victims.
Of the twenty-six poems in the anthology, my favorites were Rosenberg's The Rebel, William Cook's Killer, A. B. Stephen's Serial Killer's Ditty, and Three in Me by David Frazier. All the poetry ranged from good to great and all are worth your time.
Flash Fiction Pieces
Like the poetry, the Flash Fiction is dark and menacing in its tones and variety. Being the father of an 8 year old daughter, I could identify with the main character and his motives, right up until the end in Stephen Alexander's Grey. But the ending does leave the door of uncertainty open, just a crack.
There are 9 pieces here and Grey is one of the best. Brian Barnett's Business is Murder and Allen Griffin's Pretend Pain were excellent reads that weigh on the mind long after consumption.
Short Stories
As for the short stories, William Cook's Return of the Creep, a tale of a sadistic cabby and his slow torture of a beautiful young girl, was by far the fullest, most well rounded story. Many of the other pieces read like flash fiction, but here, Cook offers the reader one of the best stories I have read in to this point in 2013. Zach Black's His Father Before Him,is another fine tale about a second generation serial killer who wants to be just like his dad, in every way but one. Also good is Mark Fewell's Amy's Last Dance.
After reading the material here, I felt as if I'd been given a different view of the psycho serial killer than can be found anywhere else. This isn't true crime fiction, and it isn't Investigation Discovery, this is a group of writers taking on one of the most difficult sub-genres of speculative fiction, and doing an excellent job at it!
Summary
Overall, I'd call Serial Killers Iterum a winner! After reading the material here, I felt as if I'd been given a different view of the psycho serial killer than can be found anywhere else. This isn't True Crime Fiction, and it isn't Investigation Discovery, this is a group of writers taking on one of the most difficult sub-genres of speculative fiction, and doing an excellent job at it!
It's one of those anthologies you should not read in one setting, but over a long period of time. Theme fiction can sometimes be overwhelming when read straight through and, each Poem, Flash Fiction Piece, and Short Story deserves its own moment in the dark!
