Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Harold Schechter, acclaimed true crime author and historian, known for his deep dives into some of history’s most notorious killers.

Harold has written extensively on figures like H.H. Holmes, Albert Fish, the Bath School bomber, and other infamous criminals, blending meticulous historical research with gripping storytelling. 

In this episode, we explore the psychology of serial killers, delving into the origins of true crime, the psychological underpinnings of violence, and what society’s fascination with crime reveals about us. We discuss the nature of psychopathy and the macabre crimes of Ed Gein.

For anyone intrigued by the human mind, the history of crime and serial killer, you wont want to miss this one.
