Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka: The True Story of the Ken and Barbie Killers
Summary
Warning: This audiobook contains police and court transcripts and descriptions of graphic sexual violence contained in videotapes made by the perpetrators. Paul Bernado and Karla Homolka were so perfectly iconic as a newlywed couple that they were dubbed "Ken and Barbie". But their marriage had a dark side involving sex, death, and videotape. The "perfect couple" first raped and murdered Karla's little sister then kidnapped teenage schoolgirls whom they enslaved, raped, tortured, and killed while gleefully recording themselves on video doing it. Vronsky will take you on the journey from the Scarborough Rapist (Bernardo) to Bordelais (Homolka's current last name) and her return to Canada in October 2014 from the island of Guadeloupe, where she lived for several years. This is the third audiobook in the Crimes Canada: True Crimes That Shocked the Nation collection.

Existential Kink
Summary
A smart, sexy guide to embracing the repressed, tabooed, and often unwanted aspects of ourselves so we can discover our inner power and finally live the life we deserve. “We always get exactly what we want; but often, though we may not be aware of it, what we most want is dark - very dark.” Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other”, the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power. In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliot, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliot asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence. Existential Kink provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side’s “guilty pleasures”, love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being. By doing so, Elliot shows, we bring to life the raw, hot, glorious power we all have to get what we really want in our lives.

Peter Woodcock: Canada's Youngest Serial Killer
Summary
Peter Woodcock was Canada's youngest serial killer when, at the age of 17, he brutally raped and murdered two boys and a girl between the ages of four and nine. He was never put on trial by "reason of insanity", and instead was confined for 34 years in a criminal psychiatric facility and offered treatment. On July 13, 1991, he finally had earned his first day pass ever and was allowed to briefly go off the facility grounds into town to visit a DQ for an ice cream. What Woodcock did within the first hour of his first day pass stunned many people and made national headlines.

Serial Killer Groupies
Summary
Known as "serial killer groupies" or even "prison groupies", a great number of these women have shown a surprising desire to get connected to the serial killer of their choice. A large number of these women have become directly aligned with these killers, and some have even married or gotten engaged with these criminals. It is believed that these women are living vicariously through these high-profile criminals, and enjoy the attention and notoriety in the media. Like many other mental conditions, the treatment varies from medications such as Phenothiazine to psychotherapy. So why are these so-called "groupies" attracted to serial killers? Experts have compiled several reasons why, including: Rescue fantasy - The Groupie believes that he or she can change the killer with love and understanding. Perfect boyfriend/girlfriend - He or she knows where their criminal lover is at all times (in prison). She can love him without being jealous or having to deal with trust issues. Nurturing - Most female groupies have said that they see the little boy in these serial killers and that they want to console and nurture them like a mother would do with her son. Drama - Many women and men need to have drama in their lives. They get engrossed in the trial of a serial killer, then an infatuation begins which follows sending letters to the killer. Hybristophilia - Sexual arousal of those who commit violent crimes. Male figure - Several female groupies have acknowledged that they were raised without a father or male figure, abused and neglected, they look to the serial killer to fill that need. Self-esteem - Some women have very low self-esteem and believe that they can't find a man. Since these killers are in prison and lonely themselves, those women will target them for attention and a fantasy relationship.
