Welcome to the Final Girl Support Group, coffee's in the back, and please remember there's no cross-talk. Prepare yourself for a guided tour of the history of murder books, because ever since we invented the printing press we've been using it to tell stories about killing each other, from bizarre 19th century Jack the Ripper fan fiction, through Psycho, the industry-changing success of Silence of the Lambs, and all the way up to today. Tonight you'll encounter astrological assassins, the female authors who wrote serial killer books first, and primal hamster trauma as together we try to figure out what it means that so much of publishing is about selling murder for fun.
