About this book
This book uses interviews with viewers, dark tourists, collectors and others to further interrogate this social trend. Many of these are participants inthe four key case studies explored within the study: emotional pathways while watching a true-crime TV series, the trend of dark tourism, murderabilia collecting and the fanaticism of (and for) Anders Breivik. This book seeks to answer one of the most pressing cultural trends of the modern age and fill in a gap in the criminological literature on the subject.
