Our Take

Cullen spent ten years dismantling every myth about Columbine and replacing them with something worse: the truth. The killers were not outcasts. The trench coat mafia did not exist. Cassie Bernall probably never said yes. What remains is a book about how we construct meaning from massacre and get it wrong every time.
