True Crime Picks to Check Out

All That Is Wicked: A Gilded-Age Story of Murder and the Race to Decode the Criminal Mind by Kate Winkler Dawson

Edward Rulloff was a brilliant yet utterly amoral murderer--some have called him a "Victorian-era Hannibal Lecter"--whose crimes spanned decades and whose victims were chosen out of revenge, out of envy, and sometimes out of necessity. From his humble beginnings in upstate New York to the dazzling salons and social life he established in New York City, at every turn Rulloff used his intelligence and regal bearing to evade detection and avoid punishment. He could talk his way out of any crime...until one day, Rulloff's luck ran out. By 1871 Rulloff sat chained in his cell--a psychopath holding court while curious 19th-century mind hunters tried to understand what made him tick. From alienists (early psychiatrists who tried to analyze the source of his madness) to neurologists (who wanted to dissect his brain) to phrenologists (who analyzed the bumps on his head to determine his character), each one thought he held the key to understanding the essential question: is evil born or made? Eventually, Rulloff's brain would be placed in a jar at Cornell University as the prize specimen of their anatomy collection...where it still sits today, slowly moldering in a dusty jar. But his story--and its implications for the emerging field of criminal psychology--were just beginning.

Dark Carnivals: Modern Horrors and the Origins of American Empire by W. Scott Poole

With Dark Carnivals, author W. Scott Poole, an expert in horror and its impact on American history, reveals how the horror genre as a way of seeing the world has become one of the most incisive critiques of America and its history and influence around the globe. Following World War II, America took its place on the world stage, its growing imperial shadow becoming ever more evident. But even as the American empire emerged, propaganda at home convinced ordinary Americans that their country kept its hands clean on the world stage. The nation, enshrined in the aspirational words of its founding documents, found itself enjoying a primal innocence, despite a host of evil forces insidiously growing more rooted each day: racism and violence, deadly viruses and fear of the other. From the Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) to Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) to Get Out (2017), horror films have long acted as the shadow that reveals uncomfortable political realities and inhuman crimes perpetrated by the United States for the last century with near impunity. In fact, the influence of American horror culture—in films, literature, online forums, and even video games—continues into our contemporary experience, continually challenging the myth of American innocence and exceptionalism, acknowledging our culpability abroad, and, most importantly, our failures at home.

The Case of the Vanishing Blonde: And Other True Crime Stories by Mark Bowden

Six captivating true-crime stories, spanning Mark Bowden's long and illustrious career, cover a variety of crimes complicated by extraordinary circumstances. Winner of a lifetime achievement award from International Thriller Writers, Bowden revisits in The Case of the Vanishing Blonde some of his most riveting stories and examines the effects of modern technology on the journalistic process. From a story of a campus rape at the University of Pennsylvania in 1983 that unleashed a moral debate over the nature of consent when drinking and drugs are involved to three cold cases featuring the inimitable Long Island private detective Ken Brennan and a startling investigation that reveals a murderer within the LAPD's ranks, shielded for twenty six years by officers keen to protect one of their own, these stories are the work of a masterful narrative journalist at work. Gripping true crime from a writer the Washington Post calls "an old pro."

Chase Darkness with Me: How One True-Crime Writer Started Solving Murders by Billy Jensen

Have you ever wanted to solve a murder? Gather the clues the police overlooked? Put together the pieces? Identify the suspect? Journalist Billy Jensen spent fifteen years investigating unsolved murders, fighting for the families of victims. Every story he wrote had one thing in common―they didn't have an ending. The killer was still out there. But after the sudden death of a friend, crime writer and author of I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Michelle McNamara, Billy became fed up. Following a dark night, he came up with a plan. A plan to investigate past the point when the cops had given up. A plan to solve the murders himself. You'll ride shotgun as Billy identifies the Halloween Mask Murderer, finds a missing girl in the California Redwoods, and investigates the only other murder in New York City on 9/11. You'll hear intimate details of the hunts for two of the most terrifying serial killers in history: his friend Michelle McNamara's pursuit of the Golden State Killer and his own quest to find the murderer of the Allenstown Four. And Billy gives you the tools―and the rules―to help solve murders yourself. Gripping, complex, unforgettable, Chase Darkness with Me is an examination of the evil forces that walk among us, illustrating a novel way to catch those killers, and a true-crime narrative unlike any you've read before.

ive gone over the past couple years from listening to/watching true crime a fair amount to immediately distrusting people who say that they’re part of the ‘true crime community’

#these days if i do listen to/watch anything true crime it strictly relates to fraud #and ive ALWAYS hated those shitty fucking podcasts like 'my favourite murder' #like god how fucking ghoulish can you be #fans calling themselves 'murderinos' #BOAK

staking out the home of a murder suspect from the cafe across the street | rain sounds 3hrs

when your best friend turned up dead, you knew right away it had something to do with the mystery guy she'd been seeing. she never gave you any details, but there were only so many places she could've met someone. only so many people there who would have interested her. it wasn't that hard to put the pieces together. at least, it wasn't that hard for you. apparently it may as well have been a three billion piece jigsaw to the cops, for how hard they found it. they don't even seem to care that her necklace never turned up. 

you're convinced he still has it. somewhere in his house, maybe. if you can get proof that he has it, maybe the cops will finally take you seriously. 

your coffee has gone cold, and you grimace through a swallow, frowning down at your cup. but then you catch some movement out of the corner of your eye. across the street, you watch him head down the road, turn the corner. 

now's your shot.

That feeling when your friend says something in passing that destroys you but your anxiety means you don’t visibly show that AT ALL and you think to yourself “oh cool, that’s what we’ll be focussing on for the next week to 10 years, good to know.”

#anxiety #mental health #mental illness #a friend once said I wasn’t a real murderino #it was at least 5 years ago. I still think about it. #being an encyclopaedia of shit that has hurt you is exhausting #i am so tired
