The cover looks kinda campy but this essay collection is actually a highbrow look at the lingering effects of violent crime on the victims, the perpetrators, and society.
I particualrly enjoyed the essay about true crime as entertainment, and would like to read more about that.
I was very moved by the longform profile of a UT tower shooting victim.
The story on what gunshot wounds really do to a body was more than I expected: I agree that if people actually saw the photos of autopsies and such, our national discourse around gun control and violence would be completely different (honestly, sometimes curiosity has gotten the best of me and I have regretted it every time).
Finally, that reporting on CBP is mind boggling: the stuff of dystopian nightmeres is happing to US citizens, in the United States, and it is completely legal.

Great place to start for folks looking to explore the genre of true crime. Excellent audiobook! Love Gabra Zackman- I'll now be looking to read more narrated by her and more written by Sarah Weinman!

It’s a book of articles and essays from other places all compiled into the book. I did enjoy the variety in later articles but it felt like half way through there was a shift to a broader outlook vs individual cases then it shifted back which made the flow of the book feel odd.

This book touched on a few crimes but also about how the subject of true crime has been spotlighted.
It takes about how racist the systems are, while claiming that they are all inclusive.
It discusses the way blood-spatter analysis was started and why it was started.
This book was both interesting and informative. Highly recommend!
