This book has done more for women’s history than almost any other. Rather than continuing to fetishise the murderer, Hallie presents the victims’ stories.. This book has also affected the true crime genre, where more writers are focusing on victims rather than perpetrators.

I’ve finished #Sandman. Overwhelmed! What you need to know is that @neilhimself spent years learning how to make television the ultimate medium for graphic novels. He worked as a runner on Good Omens in homage to Terry Pratchett. He learned how to make it work. And it’s sublime https://t.co/jNj9nxYvOZ
