Beth Rivera's review
of
Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can't Look Away:
"An interesting read for those of us who loves true crime. There was a bit more of an emphasis on the horror genre than applies to me, but still some really interesting information--especially the connect between anxiety and morbid curiosity!"

"Great book, especially for those with an interest in true crime and mysteries. Picked this book up after I saw the author speak at a True Crime Convention and this would make a great college course!"

of
Morbidly Curious: A Scientist Explains Why We Can't Look Away:
"I really enjoyed this book! Since I have some experience in horror theory/studies (and am a huge horror fan myself), I wouldn't say I learned a lot of new things, but it definitely provided me with some interesting perspectives that I hadn't consider"
