30 years after she first asked the question, "Why do women fall in
love with convicted murderers?," Sheila Isenberg answers it anew in
the age of the internet, smart phones, social media, mass
shootings, celebrity worship of murderers, and modern prison dating
At once disturbing and fascinating, Women Who Love Men Who Kill is
a compelling psychological study of prison passion in the new
millennium. Through extensive research and interviews with women
who seek relationships with convicted killers through snail and
e-mail, and through conversations with psychiatrists, social
workers, and prison officials, Isenberg sheds light on why these
women are drawn into relationships with incarcerated outcasts. Many
of the women vulnerable to these relationships know exactly what
they are getting into. But they are willing to sacrifice everything
for the sake of a love without hope or promise, or consummation.
Updated and revised since its original publication, this second
edition of Women Who Love Men Who Kill includes gripping new case
studies and an absorbing look at how the digital age is
revolutionizing this phenomenon. Meet the young women writing "fan
fiction" featuring America's most sadistic murderers; the killer
serving consecutive life sentences for strangling his wife and
smothering his toddler daughters-and the women who visit him in
prison; the high-powered journalist who fell in love and risked it
all for "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli; and many other women absorbed
in online and real-life dalliances with their killer men.
