Listen for free

View show details

In 1960s Kraków, Poland, a string of random, brutal stabbings shocked the city and left police hunting a killer with no apparent motive. At first, nobody suspected Karol Kot; a polite, intelligent teenager hiding an obsession with knives and violence. The two murders and multiple attempted murders he committed would earn him the nickname ‘The Vampire of Kraków.’
