He was the last person anyone suspected of being a serial killer. After Marcus was caught and sentenced to life in prison in the late '70s, author Linda Lou Long spent years corresponding with him. The Tuskegee Strangler gives an inside look into the … [Read more...]
TED BUNDY The Yearly Journal Volume One
Due to Sullivan’s extensive writing about Ted Bundy (which has produced six books), he’s become a sort of magnet over the years, drawing out many people who were part of the Bundy story, but have otherwise kept a low profile over the decades; and these first-person contacts continue to this day.

It's important to understand that Michigan serial killer Don Miller is not in prison for murder. … [Read more...]

And it is here where the nonfiction writer must be very … [Read more...]

Here I found stories of murder, all kinds … [Read more...]
