tis a natural phase as far as I can see. I recall way back when, being totally facinated with the Manson Murders, and Charles Manson and all his followers. I think it is human nature and I know a load of teens go through this phase. Actually I know loads of adults who crave that style of reading.
Humans have a morbid sense of entertainment.
Your normal.

I've read all Colin Wilson's books on mass murders when I was a ripe 19-year old.

I used to read everything I could and watch all there was on serial killers. Not anything like a fascination with them or anything like that....just interested in why they did what they did, how they can look so normal and do such weird stuff. Now I'm home too much by myself and I get freaked out too easy, so don't watch or read about them like i used to.

Maturity will cure you of this interest, in the meantime don't worry about it.

Wonder when I'll reach maturity then! An interest in serial killers doesn't make you a serial killer no more than an interest in rocks makes you a rock.

skittles when I read the title of your thread and who the author was i was tempted to just respond yes without even reading your post.

OK OK I'm only kidding. just my feeble attempt at a joke.

your fine, who wouldn't be fasinated by these sick-os? you have to wonder what makes thim tick.

count me in. i watch every one of the inside scoop type shows on these guys. they suck me in every dang time!

I don't think it's any different than being fascinated by the Titanic, World War II, or slowing down to see an accident. We all do it at some time. And if it turns out not to be a "phase" (I always hated that) then you are still no different than most. They just call their fascination a "hobby" after so many years.

Skittles, I am gonna go with jahamaa, and say I was just going to jump in and say, "Yep. You're nuts!!" But when I actually read your question, the first thing I though of was; if no one were interested in serial killers, who would go after them? I've read a few things by John Douglas. He's the guy who basically "invented" profiling for the FBI. Talk about some skin-crawling stories. You should check out, (if you haven't already) Mind Hunters and Obsession. Wow.
No, I think you're perfectly normal to be interested in them. Maybe you'll pursue a career in criminology, or be a detective, or an agent for the FBI. Who knows? I think it's great that there's folks out there with these kinds of interests. Watch, one day you'll be working side-by-side with ladycop!

First, BR and Jahamma... You make me feel great! 2nd How can you not know what hitler did, how old were you when you finally found out jives?????
