Summary:"Stories direct mass harm, including violence and less sensational affronts. This book explores the capacity of stories to motivate people to do harm and to tolerate the harm done by others. The book builds upon timely work in the field of narrative criminology, according to which stories promote or inhibit harmful action. It offers a sociological analysis of the emotional yet intersubjective experience of dangerous stories"--Provided by publisher.
