I’m of the belief that a good murder story should put you out of commission for a while.
我相信一个好的谋杀故事应该让你暂时无法工作。
There is a storyworld to journey into, and it is a doozy.
有一个故事世界可供探索，而且非常有趣。
But most of what we get on a day-to-day basis is just cheap entertainment: lurid play-by-plays and gleeful reveling in the perpetrator’s villainy.
但我们每天得到的大部分只是廉价的娱乐：耸人听闻的剧情和对肇事者的邪恶行为的兴高采烈。
In one of my favorite murder stories of 2012, Vanessa Veselka writes, ”It seems our profound fascination with serial killers is matched by an equally profound lack of interest in their victims.” The unifying theme of my 2012 picks is simply that these pieces honor the stories of the people who were wronged.
在 2012 年我最喜欢的谋杀故事之一中，凡妮莎·维塞卡 (Vanessa Veselka) 写道：“看来我们对连环杀手深深着迷，而对受害者却同样极度缺乏兴趣。”我 2012 年精选的统一主题很简单，就是这些作品向那些受冤屈的人的故事致敬。
