Finding truth in fiction : what fan culture gets right - and why it's good to get lost in a story / Karen E. Dill-Shackleford and Cynthia Vinney.

• In Finding Truth in Fiction, two media psychologists reveal that there's much more to our desire to seek out stories in film, TV, and books than simple diversion - fiction can help us find truth in our real lives. Whether you consider yourself a fan of popular media or whether you find yourself thinking of a particular fictional scene for inspiration, you are not alone.
