Morbid curiosity, or an interest in unpleasant things, is a human reaction captivating individuals across the nation. True crime media consumption, ranging from books to podcasts to documentaries, has grown rapidly in popularity and this book club leans into that. We may also touch on topics of cults, the paranormal and dark history as we explore the dangerous and more frightening side of the library's collection.
This month we will discuss Lady Killers: Deadly Woman Throughout History by Tori Telfer. This compendium investigates numerous female serial killers and their crimes throughout history. Don't have time to read the book coming off the holiday season? No worries! Read a few articles about female serial killers and come join the conversation!
A limited number of paper books are available in the library. Ebooks and digital audiobook copies can be found on Libby and Hoopla! Email kkriley@tscpl.org for questions.
