Dead Silence: Blog About Serial Killers

True Crime, Murderers, Criminology Courses

A blog about serial killers shares the fascination with these murders and true crime has attracted emails from production companies who want to send the writer information on movies, but it hasn't received comments from friends and families of the victims, nor requests to remove content for fear it is glorifying violence.

The author of Dead Silence posts featuring Youtube videos of news broadcasts, some posts have discussed crimes by state and others list college courses that are serial killer-related.

Reading about death and murder can take a toll on anyone, but it educates people and makes them more aware of dangers.

For years people pictured serial killers as monsters and beasts. People believed they had a "certain" look, which is far from the truth. They can live next door or be in the office next to you at work. They have families, kids, go to church and take part in the community.

Ted Bundy volunteered at an emergency hotline. John Wayne Gacy performed as a clown at children's parties. TV specials on a case or killer share the author's fascination with the subject and is perhaps responsible for the blog being nominated for Best Blog Design, Freakiest Blogger, Best Educational, The Blogitzer and Best Blog About Stuff.
