About this listen

An equal parts haunting and hilarious deep-dive review of history's most notorious and cold-blooded serial killers, from the creators of the award-winning Last Podcast on the Left

Since its first show in 2010, The Last Podcast on the Left has barreled headlong into all things horror, as hosts Henry Zebrowski, Ben Kissel, and Marcus Parks cover subjects spanning Jeffrey Dahmer, werewolves, Jonestown, and supernatural phenomena. Deeply researched but with a morbidly humorous bent, the podcast has earned a dedicated and aptly cult-like following for its unique take on all things macabre.

In their first book, the guys take a deep dive into history's most infamous serial killers, from Ted Bundy to John Wayne Gacy, exploring their origin stories, haunting habits, and perverse predilections. Featuring newly developed content alongside updated fan favorites, each profile is an exhaustive examination of the darker side of human existence. The Last Book on the Left will satisfy the bloodlust of listeners everywhere.

Fantastic book, the boys knocked this one out of the park. If you have an interest in true crime and darker sense of humor you’ll love this.

The boys smashed it!

A perfect balance of Marcus' macabre, misery and mystery... with a sprinkle of Kissel and Zebrowski's medicinal and cathartic humour, lest the story get too dark. Fans of Last Podcast on the Left and new listeners alike will enjoy the velvety prose of Marcus Parks and the gross insight into some of the sickest fellas of the last century; Henry and Ben provide much needed ventilation, familiar to the podcast presentation but with an air of professionalism. Hail Parks, Kissel and Zebrowski!

Megustalations! Bring a towel for Ben though.

i enjoyed the story telling and the voice of the main narrator but the comedic interludes added nothing to the story. They annoyed me...

Good listen...

I enjoyed listening to the main narrator, however it was hard to really get into the story with those "comedians" interjecting all the time. I found the jokes awful

The "comedy" ruined it

The book itself is interesting - Marcus is a good story teller - but the 'comedic' interjections by Ben & Henry don't add anything at all the content. Ben's comments rely mostly on niche sporting or outdated/irrelevant cultural references & Henry's are only slightly amusing. I'm a fan of Last Podcast on the Left and the guys' banter works well in that context where they feed off one another, but the one-liners & attempted zingers fall very flat in the audiobook format. It gets very annoying very quickly and ends up detracting from the stories.

Good, but...

new format in crime story telling to say the least, terrible additional comedy. wasted data use

not worth the effort
