Convicted serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo has released an ebook on Amazon. And it's drawing some very poor reviews.

Bernardo, who is serving a life sentence at Kingston Penitentiary, has published a book titled "A MAD World Order" that can be bought online for $7.77.

The 631-page book tells the story of a Russian plot to take over a social media site to satisfy ambitions to establish itself as an international superpower.

Global News confirmed through Bernardo's lawyer that the convicted murderer did write the book.

The story contains detailed descriptions of violence and wounds, like this one:

"The over whelming firepower directed at them meant however, all of the Zetas were meeting their fate. Bodies with guns attached flailed upon the bullets impact. Blood, flesh, and bones exploded from multiple parts of their bodies, as the oversize bullets flew through them. The white cement and stucco house and its patio, was left painted with grey, tan, and crimson pieces of body parts and blood."

Amazon allows anyone to publish a book through three formats: Publish to Kindle, Publish to Print and Publish to Audio.

The Publish to Kindle option enables authors to put a book on the site "within two days." Writers can hold on to as much as 70 per cent of a book's royalties.

"A MAD World Order" is available for Kindle, but it's not clear how it was published.

Critics so far have nothing positive to say about the book, with many of them targeting Amazon for allowing it to be sold on its site in the first place.

"I was planning to do all my Christmas shopping on Amazon this year. The sale of this book has convinced me do otherwise," one Amazon user wrote.

"Selling a book to potentially profit him would be acknowledging that he's human," said another.

Bernardo was convicted in the rape and murder of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy in 1995.

He has admitted to an additional 14 rapes, and agreed to be declared a "dangerous offender" instead of facing another trial, The Toronto Star reported.

The designation is reserved for people who could "pose a significant danger to the public" if released from custody, according to Correctional Service Canada.

It also gives such offenders an indeterminate sentence that means they're not eligible for full parole for seven years or day parole for four years.

The Star reported in July that Bernardo had applied for day parole, but Tim Danson, a lawyer for his victims' families, told The Canadian Press it was unlikely he'd be released due to his dangerous offender status.

Bernardo is also reportedly engaged to be married to a woman who has been writing him letters in prison, The Toronto Sun reported last year.

He was previously married to Karla Homolka, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for manslaughter for her role in Bernardo's crimes.
