Everyone that I know abhors serial killers, but True Crime
books were the
ones most frequently requested by customers during the three
years I worked
in a bookstore. On the fictional side of things, you can even
say that
Hannibal Lector has a fan following.
A number of years ago here in Louisville, Joseph Wesbecker
went through the
Standard Gravure printing plant with an automatic rifle
killing a wounding
a number of people. Still, crime and mystery and thriller
fiction -- all of
which rely in some part upon murder and mayhem -- remain
popular reading in
this community.
So I'm really kind of lost with the public
sentiment/politically correct
stance on this issue.
