概要
'Haunting, elegant and fiercely intelligent' OBSERVER
'Lyrically luminescent' NEW YORK TIMES
A terrifying true-crime history of serial killers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond - from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Prairie Fires
Caroline Fraser grew up in the shadow of Ted Bundy, the most notorious serial murderer of women in American history, surrounded by his hunting grounds and mountain body dumps, in the brooding landscape of the Pacific Northwest. But in the 1970s and 80s, Bundy was just one perpetrator amid an uncanny explosion of serial rape and murder across the region. Why so many? Why so weirdly and nightmarishly gruesome? Why the senseless rise and then sudden fall of an epidemic of serial killing?
As Murderland indelibly maps the lives and careers of Bundy and his infamous peers in mayhem - the Green River Killer, the I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker, the Hillside Strangler, even Charles Manson - Fraser's Northwestern death trip begins to uncover a deeper mystery and an overlapping pattern of environmental destruction. At ground zero in Ted Bundy's Tacoma, stood one of the most poisonous lead, copper, and arsenic smelters in the world, but it was only one among many that dotted the area.
As Fraser's investigation inexorably proceeds, evidence mounts that the plumes of western smelters not only sickened and blighted millions of lives, but also warped young minds, spawning a generation of serial killers. A propulsive non-fiction thriller, Murderland transcends true-crime voyeurism and noir mythology, taking readers on a profound quest into the dark heart of the real American berserk.

批評家のレビュー
A big, ambitious story about the United States and the people it breeds . . . as hauntingly compulsive a nonfiction book as I have read in a long time. It gets into your blood (Dorian Lynskey)
Haunting, elegant and fiercely intelligent, Murderland works as a moving requiem for the many lives cut short by these killers, but it's also a clear-eyed sociological account of how this terror affected the entire country, and how we cannot understand these terrible crimes without also fully appreciating the darkness of the era in which they occurred.
I highly recommend it (R. F. Kuang, author of YELLOWFACE)
A blend of memoir, biography and history . . . Murderland reads like a true crime thriller . . . [Fraser] makes her case with conviction
Caroline Fraser [is] lyrically luminescent . . . reading her prose can be like skiing powder snow on a perfect day, one lovely turn after another
An amalgam of true crime reportage, visionary muckraking in the tradition of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and a startlingly candid memoir . . . Though Murderland might be cataloged as ecojournalism, it is also a multi-true-crime narrative related in a breathlessly propulsive manner . . . Fraser's prose is lyrical, elegiac (Joyce Carol Oates)
Extraordinarily well-written and genre-defying blend of memoir, social and environmental history, and forensic inquest . . . Fraser's portrayal of the [Guggenheim] family is akin to Patrick Radden Keefe's genealogy of the Sacklers in his book Empire of Pain . . . a moody masterpiece
Fraser makes a powerful plea for taking the health of the land, the toxicity of the air and the waters, into consideration when we assess human behaviour
Murderland is wonderfully propulsive and hard to put down . . . both a memoir of growing up during the serial-killing era and a unique investigation into its potential causes
Compelling, beautifully written . . . Murderland is at heart a cry of outrage
Meticulously researched . . . A great writer can make art of the most grotesque material, and Fraser does. As crushing as many of the stories are, we are held in thrall
In this brooding and often brave book, the author finds evil afoot, but the worst monsters aren't who you'd guess
Tough to classify and not to be missed: a history of the Pacific Northwest's most infamous, paired with a touch of memoir and a fascinating linking of homicidal tendencies with childhoods marked by industrial waste
A strange and compelling tale . . . Initially, Murderland seems as crazy as the killers it portrays. But Fraser, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, has the skills to pull it off, and once she gets going, the theory she espouses seems plausible
