Twenty-five podcasts, books, and movies that aren’t afraid of the dark.
True-crime fandom may be booming, but that doesn’t mean that our cultural fascination with evil and transgression is new. Most innovations in media have taken up notorious crimes as a favored subject, from the cheaply printed broadsheets of the 18century to the serialized magazines of the Victorian era to the cable TV networks of the 1990s. Now tales of crime and punishment inspire internet forums, podcasts, and streaming miniseries.
There’s the baffling docility of Charles Manson’s followers, the spirited eccentricities of participants in a scheme to defraud McDonald’s, the dangerous hubris of “experts” who will put a defendant away based on pseudoscience. There’s even the courage of an attorney fighting against the odds to save clients crushed by an unfair criminal justice system. True crime does, from time to time, showcase the good guys.
