Phew, finally finished this! I’ve been busy guys 😮‍💨

First of all, I gotta mention that this is a textbook, so it’s scientific information, behavioral analysis, psychological background, legal boundaries. Loads of very interesting and educational stuff! As long as this specific topic is something you’re interested in, you’re gonna love this book!

Either you’re a student or just morbidly curious, or maybe you’re actually a little bit too into this subject, I recommend this very much.

I’d give it 5/5 but some parts were slightly repetitive.

this reference book has been invaluable in my studies of criminal paraphilia. genuinely cannot recommend it enough to those in the forensic psych field, assuming paraphilia are your wheelhouse as well!

Absolutely fascinating – definitely not for the faint of heart. Some of the descriptions are horrific and brutal. While the author effectively summarizes key theories on the etiology of necrophilia, none seem entirely satisfactory. Given the rarity of necrophilia, it hasn't received extensive study, making this aspect sadly less enlightening. Nevertheless, the author has done a notable job providing relevant information and references. Overall, it's a well-researched book with several included case reports.

If this doesn't give you nightmares, I don't know what will:
