The Spectacle of Murder: Fact, Fiction and Folk Tales
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Nothing is more permanent than murder. Century long myths have persistently continued adapting to cultural and social changes. As early as the seventeenth century novels have been created surrounding the phenomenon of murder due to those in the Victorian era relishing in the gory details of those unfortunate souls. Murder makes a good story - it sells newspapers, books and video games. Society immerses itself in the mysterious compulsions of the unhinged mind. Like birds we flock to murder sites desperately trying to grasp at the victims last wish or for a chance to step into the killer’s shoes. However murder no longer hides in plain sight - its sadistic menace has corrupted our hard drives. Teenagers and adults alike enjoy playing Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty - killing avatars at will. The line between reality and virtual reality blurs.
