I am a 30-yr old female and have avidly been reading true crime novels for about 8 yrs now.
I suppose that since I cannot relate to the 'snap' that many killers seem to experience or to their inherent predilection to blood and suffering.. it is as if I feel the need to understand WHY... Why do people kill? I enjoy reading about their childhoods, their upbringings... what are the common denominators here? Why do some spark public interest and some do not?
I think women are also drawn to dramas, especially reality-based dramas - it is exciting in a very sick way, but we are emotional creatures and do feed off of all kinds of emotion.
Another theme that seems to arise is that abusive sadistic men often had abusive sadistic mothers. What the hell! How can we prevent ourselves from being these mothers... breeding these monsters?
Just a few insights for you authors =)
