In 1959, two sets of murders shook America to its core.
In Nebraska, Charles Starkweather’s killing spree inspired Bruce Springsteen’s haunting album Nebraska — now the subject of the new film Deliver Me From Nowhere.
That same year, the Clutter family murders in Kansas became the foundation for Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, later brought to the screen in Capote with Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Across time zones — me in England and Dr Katherine O’Connell in the U.S. — we connected for one of the very first discussions of Deliver Me From Nowhere in a new episode of Astrology and Cinema in Reel Life.

Coming Up:
I’ll be joining Rick Levine and Steve Judd on 10 November to talk about Herschel (Uranus) and Mary Shelley’s version of horror — a live exploration of discovery, invention, and the birth of modern monsters.
