Talking with Psychopaths and Savages is Christopher Berry-Dee doing his trademark deep-dive into the minds of violent offenders — part true-crime interview book, part psychological case file. Drawing from letters, prison visits and face-to-face conversations, he lets killers talk in their own words while he breaks down their manipulations, contradictions and chilling emotional voids.
The book moves through serial killers, contract murderers and impulsive “everyday” offenders, showing the different shades of psychopathy and how charm, detachment and cruelty overlap. Berry-Dee keeps the tone clinical but unsettling, highlighting how these people justify what they’ve done and how their thinking diverges from normal empathy.
It’s grim, voyeuristic and strangely compelling — a tour through damaged minds, filtered through Berry-Dee’s steady, investigative voice.
