Praise for Killer Stories
‘This revolutionises South African true crime… an unprecedented look into the minds of serial murderers, told in their own chilling words.’
- Jana Marx, author of The Krugersdorp Cult Killings
‘A devastating, deeply moving, and humane page-turner – absolutely unique in its approach. Just as you despair, a kind of redemption emerges, all the more powerful because of where you have been taken.’
- Mark Shaw, author of Hitmen for Hire
‘If you made me angry, to me, for that anger to go away, I have to get hold of you … I have to do something to you.’
‘I didn’t feel myself. I felt numb, like a zombie, like a switch had been flicked and a light had gone off.’
These are the words of some of South Africa’s most terrifying serial killers, who spoke to psychologist Brin Hodgskiss in the bowels of the country’s most
secure prisons.
Hodgskiss interviewed several of the most notorious serial killers and his
recordings sat gathering dust until recently, when top true-crime podcaster
Nicole Engelbrecht found his research online. The two connected and now they bring their love of storytelling to this highly readable book.
Also Available as an Ebook and Audiobook
‘If you made me angry, to me, for that anger to go away, I have to get hold of you… I have to do something to you.’
‘I didn’t feel myself. I felt numb, like a zombie, like a switch had been flicked and a light had gone off.’
These are the haunting words of some of South Africa’s most terrifying serial killers, who spoke to psychologist Brin Hodgskiss in the bowels of the country’s most secure prisons. Hodgskiss interviewed several notorious serial killers, and his recordings, recently discovered by true crime podcaster Nicole Engelbrecht, form the basis of this compelling book.
In “Killer Stories”, Hodgskiss combines his interviews with the principles of narrative psychology to take readers into the minds of these killers, sharing how his own journey as a psychologist and human being has contributed to his deeper understanding of them. The book intertwines the killers’ versions of events with the true-crime stories behind them, recounting their killing sprees in gripping detail.
Journey with the authors as they explore how the stories these men told themselves about their lives contributed to their paths – and how those stories aren’t so different from those we all tell ourselves.
