This innovative and timely book uses methods in Media and Cultural Studies to analyse why global audiences are mesmerised by representations of serial killing. Unique in its transnational case studies, it addresses serial murder through a new perspective of the “serial spectator.”   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Brill's dynamic peer-reviewed series Textxet: Studies in Comparative Literature has since the mid-1990s been publishing monographs and edited collections on a range of subfields within the capacious field of comparative literature. The nearly 100 scholarly monographs published as part of Textxet engage rigorously with theories of literature, world literature, and literature and thought from around the globe, frequently from interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives. Soon to be fully digitized and accessible, Textxet has contributed significantly to the study of comparative literature, broadly conceived, in Europe and North America, and to literature studies more broadly, particularly in the discipline's many emerging subfields.  Publishing the work of both established scholars and recent Ph.D.'s, Textxet gives scholars of all generations a platform for sharing their best work, and inspiring vigorous scholarly conversations\" --Karen Thornber, Harvard University, USA, author of Global Healing: Literature, Advocacy, Care(2020)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors    Introduction: The Spectacle of Serial Violence in Global Literature and Media    Part 1 Seriality of Violence    1 Abattoir Elegantiarum: Fashion Victimology and Hannibal’s Grand Designs   Seth Wilder    2 Eat, Sleep, Read, Repeat: Excess and Enjoyment in Tomie   Shweta Khilnani    3 Caught in Observation: Sublime tableaux morts in Female Serial Killer Narratives   Natalia Igl    Part 2 Moral Panics and Murderous Sublime    4 “The Horror in Whitechapel”: Sensational Journalism in the Jack the Ripper Murders   Chen F.
