The cover of Caroline Fraser's new book 'Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers'. Ted Bundy's head is partly seen against the backdrop of a chimney from where tonnes of highly dangerous chemicals are dispersed into the atmosphere and, ultimately, into humans, animals, and the future. The book cover of Benjamin Nathans's 'To the Success of our Hopeless Cause: the Many Lives of the Soviet Dissident Movement'. White background, a glass of transparent liquid. The glass has been tipped over, the liquid having run.
