Dennis Nilsen killed at least twelve young men in London between 1978 and 1983, later recording over 250 hours of confessional audio tapes explaining his crimes in unsettling detail.

If Nilsen's extensive self-recorded confession interested you, Unabomber: In His Own Words and Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes use similarly extensive first-person archives.
