Angel of Darkness (book)

Angel of Darkness: The True Story of Randy Kraft and the Most Heinous Murder Spree of the Century is a non-fiction book by investigative journalist and American author Dennis McDougal published in 1991 by the Hachette Book Group.

McDougal was an investigative reporter for the Long Beach Press-Telegram assigned to cover the case when Kraft was arrested.

The victims' bodies, many of which were sexually mutilated, usually were dumped along freeway ramps or in remote areas.

They wrote, "Los Angeles Times reporter McDouglas here draws a multidimensional portrait of a psycho- and sociopath, not sparing the reader details of the incredible cruelty that Kraft inflicted on his victims, of the scorecard he kept to record his 'successes' and of the impaired lives of the families whose sons, brothers and husbands he slaughtered.

"[5] The review in Library Journal said McDougal "lets the killer speak for himself, and Kraft does so with chilling normalcy.
