Unsolved: The Murder of Jason MacCullough
True crime has always been a passion of mine. I’ve always found myself interested in the workings of serial killers, and the reasons why and how they became the monsters they eventually were. How could people who seemed so normal, so to speak, get away with such heinous crimes? Ted Bundy was charming; it allowed him to still abduct victims despite every woman with brown hair being on high alert. Dennis Rader, the BTK killer seemed like your average working, married man, only his desire for attention being the reason for his eventual capture. Or how about Albert Fish, who was a cannibal who was able to lure a young girl away from her family so easily, simply by lying about a street that didn’t exist.

Bleak House, by Charles Dickens
The story of Bleak House by Charles Dickens is told by two narrators, one of them being Esther Summerson, the central character of the book. There are therefore two distinct voices. Esther’s is compassionate and thoughtful, whereas the unnamed other narrator is rhetorical and witty, always speaking in the present tense. There has been a debate ever since the book was first published (1852-3) as to whether the double narrative works as a literary device.

The Ughill Murders, Sheffield, England.
I was initially aware of this story as a kid from my parents. I grew up not too far away from Ughill, and I remember my dad would always comment “that's where that man killed the babysitter”. That was not what happened, but the local gossips always had a theory about the events that occurred September 21, 1986.

One last goodbye
Harlem was quiet that evening, a city above the rest of the world. The clouds were its earth, and the sky was its home. Ships came and went, and people lived in peace. The people of Harlem were separated from what remained of the plane below. And it was better that way.
