Blood, murder, serial killers, chicken soup for the soul....


The 'True Crime' section in Bookmans. One of these things is not like the other...

But is it "Chicken Soup for the Serial Killer's Soul"? Cause that would be funny. Fun to write, too.

'Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II' is the title. (sorry the pic is blurred)

The best guess at the time was either an emo, or a cutter. ^^;;

"Chicken Soup for the Serial Killer's Soul" would be totally awesome though... But having not read any of these books, I'm slightly afraid of what one might put in said book... o_O

Hmm... self-help books for sociopaths? There could be something in this idea.

That so needs to be chicken soup for the murderous soul.

I've seen bibles in tight spots like that before.....

I've heard of people re-shelving books for comedy/irony purposes before, moving books to places they really don't belong, but are oddly appropriate nonetheless.

For example:
The Silence of the Lambs -> romantic fiction
Mills and Boon -> horror
Scientology texts -> sci-fi/fantasy

I don't know, Bookman's sort of annoyed made yesterday. I was thinking about buying some cheap books there for my classroom and their young adult section is organized by a crazy person. Like sci-fi and spy books in the mystery section and who knows what grounds they use to determine award winners.
