(Over the course of twenty-five years, Doctor Helen Morris...)
Over the course of twenty-five years, Doctor Helen Morrison has profiled more than eighty serial killers around the world. What she learned about them will shatter every assumption you've ever had about the most notorious criminals known to man. Judging by appearances, Doctor Helen Morrison has an ordinary life in the suburbs of a major city. She has a physician husband, two children, and a thriving psychiatric clinic. But her life is much more than that. She is one of the country's leading experts on serial killers and has spent as many as four hundred hours alone in a room with depraved murderers, digging deep into killers' psyches in ways no profiler before ever has.

Harold Goldberg has a bright career and works for magazines, newspapers and online sites such as The New York Times, Time Digital, USA Today, Wired, and many others. In May 2004, William Morrow published "My Life Among The Serial Killers," which Harold Goldberg co-authored with world-renowned psychiatrist Helen Morrison. In addition to the United States editions, the books have recently been published in the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and elsewhere. It was serialized in the Times of London and was a selection of seven book clubs, including the Today Show book club. From 2006 to 2008, Goldberg was a writer and consultant to Viacom’s videogame sites, including VH1 Games, Comedy Central Games, and CMT Games. He also created the critically lauded VH1 Game Break blog, which was featured in Newsweek. Harold developed its irreverent tone, including the Idiot of the Week feature, culled prizes for contests and wrote five pieces each day for two years.
In 2007, he began to write for the American Movie Classics Web site, shaping the content and interviewing directors and actors for a new generation of viewers of shows like "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad." Here, he wrote seven pieces daily about movies and popular culture. He was the first person to write about videogames for the AMC company. Goldberg also improved the site's voice, brought in established writers, developed a payment structure and made certain that movie companies supported the site. In 2008 as a writer, he helped to launch a landmark gaming site called Crispy Gamer, the only one that refused ads from video game companies. Sadly, it imploded in 2010.
As the former editor in chief of Sony Online Entertainment, Harold Goldberg helped to shape the words for dozens of games, including "EverQuest," one of Time magazine’s best games of 2000. At Sony, he created "Motherboard," an online magazine about the culture of games featuring famed writers like Michael Crichton, Nick Tosches, and John Saul. Also contributing were actress Michelle Williams, director Gus Van Sant and animator Bill Plympton. Goldberg was one of the original videogame reviewers for Wired and Entertainment Weekly and is currently the videogame critic for Boys' Life. As a syndicated newspaper columnist for three years, Goldberg penned a weekly column called "Gameplay of the Week." On April 5, 2011, Random House published All Your Base Are Belong to Us, How 50 Years of Videogames Conquered Pop Culture. It is based upon 200 interviews and many hours of unprecedented access into Sam Houser's secret lair within Rockstar Games. James Ledbetter, editor in charge at Reuters.com and now EIC of Inc., says the book is "a story that is as riveting and addictive as the games write about." Matt Helgeson, a senior editor of Game Informer, says "if you're one of the millions of people who have fallen in love with videogames, this is required reading." Also, in October 2011, Goldberg joined forces with Emmy Award winner musician Anton Sanko, twice-Oscar-nominated animator Bill Plympton and Steven Spielberg/Sam Raimi storyboard artist Dave Lowery. Together, they created an online movie event - Playing With Fire.
Goldberg founded The New York Videogame Critics Circle in 2011. He oversees a talented, multicultural group of 35 writers and critics. Hundreds of thousands have watched the New York Game Awards stream in the eight years of its existence. The show is hosted by Comedy Central's The Daily Show With Trevor Noah and features guests like Wyclef Jean - along with the world's best game makers. In 2018, Goldberg steered the Circle to become a nonprofit organization that helps underserved communities with mentoring and scholarships. In early 2019, the New York Game Awards garnered 400000 viewers on Twitch.
In 2012, Goldberg became a regular contributor to the New York Times culture section. He is also a consultant for the Tribeca Film Festival. In 2015, Goldberg became a contributing critic at The Washington Post, and also in 2016, he was featured in four documentaries, including one for the National Geographic Channel and another for Business Insider.
