Monsters and Monarchs

In "Monsters and Monarchs," Debbie Felton explores the fascinating idea that serial killers are not a modern phenomenon, but have existed since ancient times. Through stories from classical antiquity—ranging from mythological monsters to historical figures—she challenges the notion that such violence is unique to contemporary society. This thought-provoking work reexamines the origins of serial killers and offers new insights into both ancient and modern histories of violence.
