Discuss a True Crime title. This month we are discussing "Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls" by Kathleen Hale.
About the Book
On May 31, 2014, in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Wisconsin, two twelve-year-old girls attempted to stab their classmate to death. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier’s violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called “Slenderman.” Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case. -From the Publisher
