Description
"Thirty years after she first asked, "Why do women fall in love with convicted murderers?," Sheila Isenberg answers the question anew in the age of smartphones, mass shootings, celebrity worship of murderers, and modern prison dating. Through research and interviews with women who seek relationships with convicted killers via snail and email, and through conversations with psychiatrists, social workers, and prison officials, Women Who Love Men Who Kill sheds light on why women are drawn into relationships with incarcerated outcasts. This updated edition includes gripping new case studies and a look at how the digital age is revolutionizing this phenomenon. Meet the young women writing "fan fiction" featuring America's most sadistic murderers; the killer serving consecutive life sentences for strangling his wife and smothering his toddler daughters -- and the women who visit him in prison; the journalist who fell in love and risked it all for "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli; and many others." --,Back cover.
