In past episodes, The Age of Enfrightenment has explored the fascinating yet unproven accounts of so many monsters throughout history. Gruesome accounts of mutilation and mayhem draw us in with their horrific nature, but often with the safety net of skepticism and rationalization. From the monsters within this episode though, there is no such safe place to hide from the reality of what they do. We have not only confirmed kills, evidence, and convictions, but also first hand accounts in writing, on tape, and on camera: serial killers explaining in their own calm words their motivations and the brutal details of their crimes.
We as a society have shown over a century of highly publicized serial killings that we are not only able to listen to these accounts, but we are enthralled by them though they make us shudder. Join your hosts and two special guests for an entertaining and eerie discussion about this particular kind of real-life monster, recorded around a single microphone in a remote cabin in the woods.
