Monster: Inside the Mind of Aileen Wuornos

by Aileen Wuornos

Monster: Inside the Mind of Aileen Wuornos Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Told in her own words, this is the story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Charlize Theron in the film Monster. There have been few female serial killers, but Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002, was a remarkable example of this rare breed of death row inmate. All too often, female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers—Wuornos’ killings were the inverse of this pattern. After escaping an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, she became a child prostitute, progressing into a disastrous adulthood of prostitution and damaging affairs with both men and women. Her eventual metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences—a stream of dead men. This is her story, as told to Christopher Berry-Dee, editor of The New Criminologist and director of Britain’s Criminology Research Center.

Synopsis:

Aileen Wuornos was executed at the age of 46. She was a child prostitute, fleeing an abusive childhood, straight into a disastrous adulthood of difficult affairs. Her metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men. This book is her story, in her own words.
