Question:

Why am i fascinated by gory forensic details, as in crime novels and csi?

i used to love horror stories, but now am more interested in scientific thrillers, the more gruesome the better. i am half malay - perhaps that is relevant? i'm not bloodthirsty in other ways, i don't like to cut things up, but i do love to collect bones and dried up dead animals. i am a 40 yr old woman whose other interests are art and gardening!

Voyeurism and danger that is a bit removed. If you had ever encountered real violence or bloodshed I doubt that you would be interested. Its a vicarious thrill with no consequences to your actual life. I wouldn't worry about it - Jack the Ripper has been a popular read fr ages because of the exact same reason. Drama
