This morbid fascination with murders, crimes and the ones performing them, is usually quick to morph into an obsession, and the next thing you know you're discussing intricacies of famous killings, in a shrill, excited voice with fellow true crime enthusiasts. And the genre has infiltrated almost every source of entertainment, from thrilling movies to documentaries on serial killers, and from podcasts to e-books. If you can't stop yourself from furiously reading, watching and listening to true stories of criminal terror, we've rounded up a list of 5 things to do online for true, true crime fans.

1. Watch Wild Wild Country On Netflix

Based on indisputably, THE most controversial Indian guru of all time, Osho, this Netflix documentary series takes you through the famous "utopia" or more commonly referred to as the cult, created by the spiritual leader in Oregon. The brilliance of this true-crime docu-series lies in its objectivity and adherence to events as they happened, without any attempts to colour the viewers perspective in either direction. The story and the execution of the story on screen, seems so bizarre and unbelievable, that it's hard to believe you're actually knee-deep in real life and non-fiction.

2. Play True Crime - The Video Game Series

If you're a video game fanatic along with being a true-crime buff, we doubt there exists anything in the inter-verse that can entertain you the way this video game would. The two most popular games in the series are called New York City and Streets Of LA, and both let you grapple with the world of crime as a world-class detective. While the True Crime video game series is very GTA-esque, in that you are free to do whatever you want, the missions come with their unique, distinct gameplay. Also, you're a law enforcement officer in charge of controlling crimes in the city, and not a thug stealing cars. Although you can totally do that.

Dubbed as one of the most intriguing true crime podcasts of all time, Serial is an investigative journalism podcast narrated by Sarah Koenig.

The recently released third season is a bit different, in that it takes you through a different true crime case through each episode. Serial holds the record for being one of the most downloaded podcasts, ever. And one episode into the first season, you'll be quick to realise why.
