I Want to Ask Your Forgiveness for What I Will Inflict on You: Red Rooms (2023) and the Abjection of Obsession By Orrin Grey • November 26th, 2024 How much difference is there, after all, between watching a murder take place, and reconstructing that same murder through your favorite true crime series, book, or podcast?
