Bothersome Bodies – Max Haines

A grisly catalogue of history’s most macabre murders…

There will be some names you recognise such as Ed Gein, but there’s plenty of lesser known psychopaths to read all about in this second-hand book with a brilliant title and spooky cover.

If you like true crime Netflix documentaries and docudramas about serial killers then you’ll love this book!

All Nightmare Nook Books are selected by our chief Book Ghoul, Cat. Here’s why Bothersome Bodies made the cut:

“I picked this up at a brilliant secondhand bookshop, nestled amongst the small but well-formed horror section. As a true crime girlie who watches Netflix documentaries to relax, I thought this was a great find especially after reading the first couple of sentences of the blurb.

It said: “A murderer’s work is never done. They can’t just wipe the blood off the walls and the floor, put the corpse out with the rubbish and calmly walk away from the scene of the crime”

I was hooked!”
