The superior quality of these essays begs for future volumes." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With nuance and sensitivity, Weinman curates essays that consider the explosion of interest in true crime, stories from the perspectives of victims, and tales that present new information about notorious killers. . . . This enthralling volume insists that there can and should be humanity within true crime." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Essential reading for all true crime fans." -- Booklist, This spine-tingling true crime anthology....[looks] beyond killers and victims and at systemic and institutionalized depravity.
