Book Launch: ‘Killer Stories’ by Dr Brin Hodgskiss and Nicole Engelbrecht

Delve into the minds and crimes of some of South Africa’s notorious serial murderers.

Join author and psychologist, Dr Brin Hodgskiss and Nicole Engelbrecht, and Wits academics - neuropsychologist Dr Sahaba Besharati and writer and communicator Beth Amato - as they discuss crime, trauma, healing and the power of storytelling.

About Killer Stories. Hodgskiss combines his interviews with the tenets of narrative psychology to take the reader into the minds of the killers and shares how his own journey as a psychologist and human being contributed to his deeper understanding of them. The book intertwines the killers’ versions of the truth and the true-crime stories behind them, re-telling their killing sprees in gripping detail. Journey with the authors as they lay out how the stories these men told themselves about their lives contributed to where they ended up – and how those stories aren’t that different from those we all tell ourselves.

‘Killer Stories’ by Brin Hodgskiss and Nicole Engelbrecht will be on sale. RSVP: Tammy.hodgskiss@wits.ac.za
