As it so happens, I'm reading this one now, free download from Gutenberg I think. It mentions Elizabeth Bathory, who was supposed to have bathed in the blood of virgins to improve her complexion (I'll stick to Pear's soap!), and many other cases where people committed multi-murders, sometimes under the delusion that they were were-wolves or bears. It's a reasonable quick read.
