A review by princxporkchop
Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers by Caroline Fraser

dark informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.25

Really impressed by the scope of this book—weaving together environmental racism, misogyny/misogynoir, classism, US imperialism, the multitudes of violence the US requires domestically, white supremacy, settler colonial reactionaries, and the height of high-profile serial killers—super fascinating.
