About this listen
American serial killer Edmund Kemper III stalked co-eds in California at the height of the era of peace and free love, dismembering his victims and tossing their body parts in remote areas around Santa Cruz. As pieces of young women began washing up on shore and turning up alongside rural highways, female residents - especially college students - were decidedly on edge. A lust killer who savored the act of decapitating his victims - and often used their severed heads for sexual pleasure - Kemper's story is particularly twisted among historical serial killers. Still, the true crime tale of Edmund Kemper is particularly fascinating, because the man many people called "a gentle giant" was a near genius whose cunning manipulation of others made him particularly depraved and dangerous.
This true crime story, a detailed biography of one of the most psychopathic serial killers of our time, shares some insight into the troubled childhood and awkward nature that led the American serial killer to take 10 lives, including those of six pretty co-eds, his paternal grandparents, his calculatingly cruel mother, and his mother's best friend. Among historical serial killers, Kemper is especially depraved, since he included necrophilia and cannibalism in his gruesome mix of sordid criminal activity. Ultimately, Kemper's murderous inclinations and urges to kill were satisfied after he bludgeoned to death his mother, a woman he'd hated since he was eight years old, and he turned himself in. But if he hadn't finally acted on his long-held fantasy to end his mother's life, he might still be trolling California highways, getting away with murder.

distracting narration
I initially questioned of this was a computer generated voice, but soon realised it was just a human with very odd inflection. Weird choice for a voice over. Very bizarre patterns of speech which were often distracting. The story was interesting enough, but not incredibly well written with annoying over use of phrase and words.

terrible narrator, interesting topic
the narrator seems to struggle with the most basic intonation, putting pauses in the middle of sentences, and removing natural pauses. the result is an audiobook which is less than enjoyable, because so much of the focus goes to decoding the narration.

Poor
This did not really give any proper detail on the psychological profile of Edmund Kemper. In fact it seemed to be entirely transcribed from a YouTube video. Very basic overview of the story.
