There are, I learned, as many reasons for loving true crime as there are gravestones. In the following paragraphs, youвЂ™ll hear from survivors of rape and abuse, people who struggle with depression and anxiety, social justice warriors on a mission to rid the world of inequality and women who are just plain morbid (and perhaps a bit rebellious). To cast light on this taboo topic, I asked true crime fans from around the globe to answer one deceptively simple question: Why do you love murder?

Most of the people I spoke with - and everyone whose stories are included - were women, because for whatever reason, women seem to be more interested in true crime than men. To gain a better understanding of the bloody zeitgeist, I talked to dozens of self-identified murderinosВ (a term spawned by My Favorite Murder). But of course, for many, the fanatic interest goes much deeper than that. This turns out to be common reasoning for murder-loving ladies-and perhaps not an entirely foolish idea. I wanted to know everything about these victims-maybe if I knew enough about how they were killed, I thought, I could avoid their fate.

As soon as I realized I was a walking target for a certain kind of predator, I began to gather stories of dead girls. Like many American women, IвЂ™ve been fascinated by the looming specter of stranger danger since childhood.
