Morbid curiosity

What makes us stare at car crashes, obsess over bad news, or binge-watch true crime documentaries late into the night? Why are some of us drawn to horror movies, while the mere thought of them makes others shudder? A behavioural scientist reveals the psychological forces that drive us to explore our darkest fears, explaining why these inclinations are far more than just idle fascination. Morbid Curiosity is an eye-opening book that uncovers the hidden benefits of exploring the dark side of human nature.
