Is it the sensationalism?
the thrill of the unseen threat who could be on us at a moment's notice and is even now scoping us out for his final move?
Notice I said "his" as if women never re-murder. Not consistent with some of the more famous real-life cases.
What of the way we treat them in fiiction, mysterious and threatening or just in-your face murderous. Paul Clingan's DISARM has a serial killer who's on your ass immediately, with zero uncertainty. My WEAR THE RED DRESS is all about the whodunit + whydunit and getting to the point without getting killed first.
But why do we love them so? Moth to the flame, flirting with the faceless possibility of unspeaking horrors?
