Why We Love Serial Killers: The Curious Appeal of the World's Most Savage Murderers by Scott Bonn

5.0

This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. And I've been hesitant to read it - honestly, because of the title and my concern that, while claiming to be based in sociology and psychology, that this book would end up glorifying serial killers in a way that is all too common. I could not have been farther from the truth. Bonn approaches the subject of our cultural fascination with serial killers with a researcher's perspective. He eloquently explains that while this fascination "makes sense" psychologically, it should not be glorified from a sociological perspective. Overall, I highly recommend this book.
