@malorie For sure. I actually seemed to have missed the whole Dahmer thing, which I'm glad for. (My head has been under a rock in the past few months.) For me, it's been prompted actually by the whole Tiger King series, as well as the proliferation of podcasts and Instagram/TikTok personalities rising to fame because they are somehow connected to serial killers (thinking in particular of American Melissa Moore, daughter of the man known as the "Happy Face Killer").

En tout cas, heavy thoughts!

On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the …
I've been thinking so much about the ethics of true crime (not necessarily as a positive force for society, is the chief thought there) as a genre lately that it occurred to me that I still haven't read any of Truman Capote's work. This is an attempt to fix that.
I am now on page 75 of this book, and as I leaf through the pages and see my progress since April I am noticing so many scribbles in the margin. I'm very far from being a legal scholar myself but this book is very interesting and well-written. I need to get back to it!
