A fascinating history of criminology appears to be embedded in objects.
with a brick from a chimney at the Lizzie Borden murder house and a piece of a black plastic bag removed from Ted Bundy’s car after his arrest in Utah. I also own items that Dennis “BTK” Rader has made for me about his violent. And I’m a murder tourist: I visit places where famous murders occurred. I once wrote a travel column about them.
The Internet’s reach has enhanced murderabilia’s visibility and access. One can find a sizeable community of sellers and buyers for items featuring or made by—or just touched by—killers. It could be dirt from a killer’s grave, bullets that killed or wounded someone, crime scene souvenirs, and items a killer offers, like John Wayne Gacy’s rosary, handwritten notes from Ted Bundy, and Glen Rogers’ toenails.
This book is loaded. Schechter offers accounts of about 100 items, dating back to 1808. Included are death masks, engravings, courtroom sketches, pamphlets, movie posters, dime books, and photos from museum exhibits.
Readers who go through Schechter’s book systematically will experience the sense of a culture enthralled with crime of many varieties. Some incidents happened in other countries, but most entries feature American crimes. Schechter calls his book a “historic tapestry of the most sensational true crimes.” It’s that and more.
