A text which explores the serial killer as an American cultural icon. Tithecott considers the ways in which the American media has dealt with examples of real and fictional serial killers, and argues that the serial killer we construct for ourselves is a figure both repulsive and attractive who fulfils dreams of masculinity, purity, and violence.
Of Men and Monsters examines the serial killer as an American cultural icon, one that both attracts and repels. Richard Tithecott suggests that the stories we tell and the images we conjure of serial killers—real and fictional—reveal as much about mainstream culture and its values, desires, and anxieties as they do about the killers themselves.
