Just what the world needs

Scripps-Howard News Service gushes over NBM Publishing's "Treasury of Victorian Murder" and its latest entry, "The Saga of the Bloody Benders", which is set in Kansas during the 1870s. And the article really caps itself with a manhole cover when it says:
Nothing is good about murder. Not in fiction, nor in real life. Bleah.

One thing's for sure: If you think the serial killer is a modern phenomenon, think again. Only in the 19th century, as rendered by Geary, murder was a lot better looking.We have enough cruelty, sadism and murder galore going on in comics already as it is, and I think that enough is enough already. But the real problem here is how blatantly they sensationalize the talk of murder. Murder is NEVER a good looking act, it is one of the sickest, ugliest acts humankind can commit. That line there above is pure bottom-of-the-barrel sleaze. And that's probably the main reason why I wouldn't dare run the gauntlet of buying books like those.
