Because the real world is more terrifying and unsettling than fiction.
True crime is all around us, these days. From podcasts to television shows to movies and conventions, it's practically in the air we breathe. It's the true crime junkies' world—we're all just living in it. In these excellent books, we're reminded that true crime does not simply consist of a neatly constructed narrative with a criminal mastermind and heroic detectives and ideal victims. Life, and crimes, are so much messier than that. We've rounded up some of our favorites, which cover a wide swath of crimes highlighting a wide swath of societal origins and implications.

Jack Nicholson is regarded as one of the greatest actor's of his generation—and his three Oscars and 58 films are all the proof you need.

Make mom's day special and your life easier with fast shipping. A bomber that's equal parts timely and timeless. When Pachinko show-runner Soo Hugh first discovered the Great Kantล Earthquake, she knew she had to write about it. Hugh was deep into the process of drafting Apple TV+'s adaptation of Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel, an emotionally epic story of one immigrant family told across four generations, when her research revealed a devastating history that her American schooling had never taught her. That history crystallized the show's themes, unlocked one character's backstory, and spoke deeply to the struggles of the Zainichi (Koreans and their descendants who came to Japan during its colonial rule of Korea). |
