"Schechter's prose has the punch of a campfire ghost story and the objects run a satisfying gamut from intriguing curios to the stuff of nightmares. It adds up to a strange and fascinating tour of the macabre."-- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
From veteran true crime master Harold Schechter comes a unique look into the history of crime told through the dark objects left behind. The false teeth of a female serial killer from 1908, the cut-and-paste confession of the Black Dahlia killer, the newly cracked cipher of the Zodiac killer, the shotgun used in the Clutter family murders, which were made famous by Truman Capote's true crime classic In Cold Blood --these are more than simple artifacts that once belonged to notorious murderers. They are objets of fascination to the legion of true crime obsessives around the world. And not merely for fleeting dark thrills, but because they represent a way to better understand those who we typically label monsters in lieu of learning how they actually became one. In Murderabilia, veteran true crime writer Harold Schechter presents 100 murder-related artifacts spanning two centuries (1808-2014), with accompanying stories of various lengths. A visual and literary journey, it presents a history unlike any previously told in the true crime genre, one that speaks to the dark fascination of true crime fans while also presenting a larger historical timeline of how and why we continue to be captivated by the most sensational crimes and killers among us., Feed your morbid Curiosity with stories of 100 objects connected with some of the most gruesome murders ever committed. And don't feel sheepish about it-until the police started roping off crime scenes, hordes of onlookers would walk through, grabbing any kind of souvenir they could. Murder relics possess an unusual and sinister power. It can be something as obvious as the luger used by Harold Unruh, the "Father of Mass Murder." Or a seemingly innocuous crucifix belonging to Augusta Gein, who railed against sin and was the mother of real-life monster Ed Gein, whose crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs. Using one significant object per spectacular crime as a way to retell its chilling story, no gory details spared, Murderabilia weaves a historic tapestry of 100 unthinkable spasms of depravity and violence that have captivated readers for hundreds of years and continue to hold us spellbound., The false teeth of a female serial killer from 1908, the cut-and-paste confession of the Black Dahlia killer, the newly cracked cipher of the Zodiac killer, the shotgun used in the Clutter family murders, which were made famous by Truman Capote's true crime classic In Cold Blood -these are more than simple artefacts that once belonged to notorious murderers.
