Adam Lanza Fan Art

Paid subscribers are receiving this a little bit earlier than free subscribers.

Katherine reads her Tablet article, “Adam Lanza Fan Art,” a deep dive into the elusive True Crime Community (TCC), a small fandom of mostly adolescents and young adults who treat school shooters and serial killers in the same way other fans might treat boyband members. After the show, in a special Q&A with producer Taylor, Katherine talks about her experiences with hostile people online, why she chose to write about Adam Lanza, and her reflections on her past work and its interpretation in the media.

Katherine argues that the fascination with these figures often reflects unresolved adolescent emotions—for better and for worse.

P.S. Gio returns soon with an extended discussion about a recent confessional guest post on default.blog.
