Supernatural Serial Killers
Albert Fish held the genuine belief that the murders he committed were upon instruction from God. The original Dracula's relative Countess Elisabeth was rumoured to use blood of her victims to preserve her youth and beauty. Jeffrey Dahmer began a macabre project of building an occult altar with his victims' body parts, believing this granted him supernatural powers to subdue and control his prey. Peter Stumpp, who started practising the "wicked arts from twelve years of age", was convinced he was a werewolf. The crimes committed by these people usually involved sexual deviance, cannibalism and violence toward children. In the sixteenth-century Europe, the problem became so significant that 'Werewolf Witch Trials' were conducted - many have no idea that it was possible to be tried and convicted for the crime of being a Werewolf, but Lycanthropy was a serious and major social concern in the 1500s. Supernatural Serial Killers discuss the individual cases of supernatural serial killers, including their background, crimes, trials and defences.

Chinese Migrants and Africa's Development
China's recent stepping up of relations with Africa is one of the most significant developments on the African continent for decades. For some it promises an end to Africa's dependent aid relationships, as the Chinese bring expertise, technology and a stronger business focus. But for others it is no more than a new form of imperialism. This book is the first to systematically study the motivations, relationships and impact of this migration. It focuses not just on the Chinese migrants but also on the perceptions of, and linkages to, their African 'hosts'. By studying this everyday interaction we get a much richer picture of whether this is South-South cooperation, as political leaders would have us believe, or a more complex relationship that can both compromise and encourage African development.
