Summary

Show Notes: December 8th, 1980. New York City. John Lennon is gunned down outside The Dakota, and the world loses a Beatle. When police arrest his killer, Mark David Chapman, they find him carrying a copy of The Catcher in the Rye—a book that, for him, blurred the lines between fiction and murder. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore the haunting artifact at the center of this infamous crime. From the history of The Beatles and J.D. Salinger’s iconic novel to Chapman’s obsession and New York’s dark night, we unpack the symbolism of that paperback. We’ll also follow the journey of this chilling collectible—right to the auction block. 🎧 Press play to discover the strange intersection of pop culture, literature, and tragedy. 📩 Got a tip or artifact to share?
