Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme was a Halloween freebie.
Since I don’t really read horror, suspense, or anything remotely “spooky” (at least on purpose), I wanted to highlight some of the more violent true crime on my tbr!
♥ The Art of the English Murder: From Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes to Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock by Lucy Worsley
♥ Base Instincts: What Makes Killers Kill? by Jonathan H. Pincus
♥ The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson
♥ Blood Will Out: The True Story of a Murder, a Mystery, and a Masquerade by Walter Kirn
♥ The Brothers: The Road to an American Tragedy by Masha Gessen
♥ Corpse: Nature, Forensics, and the Struggle to Pinpoint Time of Death by Jessica Snyder Sachs
♥ The Jeffrey Dahmer Story: An American Nightmare by Don Davis
♥ The People’s Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited by Louisa Lim
♥ The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester
♥ The Wilderness of Ruin: A Tale of Madness, Fire, and the Hunt for America’s Youngest Serial Killer by Roseanne Montillo
Yikes! True Crime scares me more than horror. I’ll take ghosts, zombies, and monsters, over murderers any day. ;)
My TTT!

I’ve read quite a few of these and honestly they were all so good. Compelling, heartbreaking and chilling. I hope you enjoy them when you get to reading!

Reality is scarier than fiction. I stopped reading books like this at Helter Skelter. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/
