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

2.0

There’s a lot to unpack here. Bonn spends pages dismissing people interested in true crime (ie his readers) and shames the “media” for sensationalizing serial killers, making them out to be monsters rather than people. Conversely, he then continues to shame the public for knowing names of serial killers but not their victims, and then concludes by telling us society needs serial killers to keep “regular people” from not straying too far into their violent urges? This book lacks any awareness, any new information, and no clear thesis.
