Murderland is Creepy and Compelling

My review of Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers by Caroline Fraser posted yesterday over at PopMatters. The Pulitzer Prize winner makes an intriguing argument that toxic emissions played a role in shaping what some criminologists call “the golden age of serial killers.”

This book is creepy and disturbing, so don’t read it if you’re squeamish. But if you’re not bothered by such topics, it’s a good read in a sort of True Detective vibe way.
