Anne Applebaum's work on the Holodomor is excellent and extensive. It also looks like it is on sale:

I recommend it highly, as well as her history on the Gulag system.
Southern Fried True Crime put out a phenomenal podcast episode about this fire. It's more overview of the owners, the suspect, and highlights some more well known faces from the community, but I really appreciate how it was presented and leads you towards the two books Eric Kelly used in researching and preparing the episode.

The defense attorney said he didn't write or illustrate Syndrome. His name is literally the first listed on this first edition hard cover
Their parents sound sociopathic, so that's a bad start. They were both abandoned, with mental, physical, and probably sexual abuse in between periods of abandonment. While the eldest was raped, it wouldn't surprise me if the younger two were as well.
Then they get into a situation where they're put through mental abuse by their employer. It's not a shock that the pressure became too much and they exploded.
I recommend Dr. Michael H. Stone's "The Anatomy of Evil" (and the follow-up "The New Evil"), if you've not read them. (https://smile.amazon.com/Anatomy-Evil-Michael-H-Stone/dp/1633883353) His Gradations of Evil scale is pretty interesting.
This is completely fucked up. If he was trying to dispose of the evidence, why keep the head?
and also a weird side note... I can't help but notice that the killer is wearing the same shoes that I always wear. I am a woman. These are women's shoes

Thank you both!
I like these details. It helps you understand the person behind these brutal crimes. The attention to details and the person is why I love the Last Podcast on the Left. It's a super entertaining way to take in all this macabre shit. The Gein episodes are awesome. I urge everyone to check out this podcast.
Everything's going to be ok, friend.
Edited: Here's a more rigorous source I'm using for my Psychology Capstone Project. It's very good:

As I mentioned elsewhere, you should really check out the book <u>Exquisite Corpse</u> by Poppy Z. Brite; it's fiction, but Brite knew the Nilsen case intimately and modeled the main character's motivations, psychology and behavior after Nilsen and his M.O. Pretty good reading.
Don Winslow has a couple novels dealing with the cartels, and the efforts to fight them. While they are fictional, they do track pretty closely with reality, and go into a lot of the politics, corruption, and economics involved. It's a lot easier to understand when you have a full picture of what exactly is involved.
They are definitely worth checking out. They are fairly graphic, but nothing that will shock someone who just looked at that album.
The two books are a series, but they don't strictly need to be read in order. I read The Cartel first, and didn't feel like I missed out on anything.
