Bring your love of true crime cookbooks into the kitchen with meals ranging from the unusual last meals (a single unpitted black olive) to the over-the-top (a dozen deep-fried shrimp, a bucket of fried chicken, French fries, and a pound of strawberries), inspired by Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and other infamous death row inmates.

The perfect gift for true crime lovers and murderino cookbook collectors, The Serial Killer Cookbook: Last Meals pairs serial killer facts with the final meal recipes of what these killers ate during their last hours. With full-color food photography, disturbing true crime stories, and step-by-step recipes, you’ll be cooking up killer meals in no time. This dark cookbook is both delicious and shocking, and spans breakfast favorites to decadent desserts, including:

• Seared Steak, Hash Browns, Toast, and Fried Eggs (given to but not eaten by Ted Bundy, serial killer)
• Chicken Parmesan and Alfredo Pasta (eaten by Ruth Snyder, murderer)
• Justice, Equality, and World Peace (eaten by Odell Barnes, murderer)
• Mac and Cheese (eaten by Gustavo Julian Garcia, murderer)
• And much more!
