Our greatest fear is the fear of the unknown. We've all had that feeling at some point, that gnawing, gut-wrenching fear that comes from our desire to know, and at the same time, not to know. When it comes to a paranormal encounter, we try to rationalize that what is happening isn't real. How could it be? Ghosts, aliens, monsters-they aren't real … right? It must be something rational. We try to explain things to make ourselves feel safe. We try to believe that the world is still normal. But sometimes … it's not.

No one ever truly disappears. In every unsolved case, at least one person knows the truth. True crime is one of the most popular genres on the bookshelves--new docuseries and podcasts entice an audience millions strong. But why are we so drawn to real-life horror? What does it say about us? True crime is about humanity. We are hardwired to pay attention to things that could harm us, and that's why so many of us are captivated by the genre. It's not a reflection of something dark within us--it's a reflection of human nature. True crime has become more than a source of entertainment, and it plays a critical role in giving forgotten victims a voice they never had the chance to share. Indeed, reading and sharing true crime stories is an act of social responsibility. When true crime is done well, it teaches us how to be vigilant. It teaches us compassion, and it keeps the memories of victims alive. True crime writers have the responsibility to provide a balanced narrative and tell the stories of both perpetrator and victim without sensationalism. It is through this careful attention to detail that the victim is honored, and innocent bystanders are protected from the crossfire. Having lived through the traumatic disappearance of a loved one herself, H.J. Tidy understands the weight of this responsibility and expertly guides you through some of the most disturbing true crime stories of all time.

If you've ever worried about your interest in true crime, relax. Your interest is natural, and it shows your empathy, your compassion, and your humanity. Ethically handled true crime stories play a vital role in bringing a voice to the victims and protecting innocent people from being wrongfully accused.
