Blood Thirst ; The True Story of Wayne Boden Vampire Rapist & Serial Killer Kindle Edition

by Alan R Warren (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars (78)

Known as the "Vampire Rapist" or "Strangler Bill" for his distinctive modus operandi, Wayne Boden would rape, strangle and bite the breasts of his victims. His murdering rampage would continue in two cities over three years; he was only caught by superior evidence gathering and the help of an orthodontist. This book asks the question of "How do we really know our boyfriend or lover when we don't want to ask the questions, not only because we don't want to know the answers for what it will tell us about them, but because of what it tells us about ourselves?" True Crime Author Alan R. Warren takes you through the details of the case including the dental impressions used in court to convict Boden, a first in Canadian history, as well as Boden's escape from a maximum-security prison.

    Any book dealing with murder can interest me, and I want a book that will draw me in. While I received this book as a freebie, it turned out to be a very good read. The author mixes a bit of storytelling with known facts about a murderer in Canada. Nobody expects this to happen in Canada! Our neighbors to the north are so peaceful--then you read a book like this, and you realize monsters can develop anywhere. So creepy. The book does not answer all your questions, either: it will leave you with an unsettled feeling. A great read, gory and gruesome details inside the mind of a serial killer.

    For a minute there it seemed like it was written by someone to whom English was a second language. It was choppy and disjointed. Then it got a bit better. Still, it's not the greatest. Then again, I'm not a fan of "short story" true crime. You just can't do it justice in just a few pages. I call these shorties "magazine articles" that the authors shouldn't even charge money for. They don't tell the whole story, don't go into the background well enough of either the perpetrator or the victims. Don't detail the trial. And the best thing about true crime is learning from the psych experts. Just not my thang ya know

    4.0 out of 5 stars parent's worst nightmare
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    This is a well-written story about Serial Killer Wayne Boden of Canada. He was the young man that any woman wish to take home to her parents; nevertheless, he was a parent’s worst nightmare. The book describes four murders and he was convicted of three. The book attempted to explain who you was and why he killed. I do not buy Boden’s story that he blacked out and during the blackout he raped, bit through breast so hard he was able to obtain blood from the victim, and then he killed. The book describes several other vampire killers plus gave a description of sadist and masochism. I like the book well enough to read other crime stories from this author.

    This is another really great read from the Crimes Canada Collection. Wayne Boden grew up in a home where he was not shown any love or affection. As an adult, he was handsome, well-built and clean cut. Women were attracted to him but he never really seemed to have a real relationship with any of them because he raped and murdered them within a short time of meeting them. He developed a taste for blood which makes this story even more twisted. This book will definitely hold your interest from beginning to end.
