Saying Goodbye to Real Evidence

For me, there wasn't any real connection, except that I would talk about him occasionally with my friend, James … [Read more...]
Author Kevin Sullivan Reflects On The Emotional Toll Of Writing True Crime
"You never say goodbye to a case." True crime writers share some common traits peculiar to their profession, and these particular traits are not found among writers of other genres. You could say we all belong to a club, or a fraternity, if you will, although it’s one we rarely talk about it. For in this club, there’s nothing really to smile about or enjoy. There isn’t any revelry. It’s just the unspoken emotional toll produced in those of … [Read more...]

The True Crime Writer As An Adventurer

It can be clearly seen in the life of Ernest Hemingway who, after reporting for the Kansas City Star for several months after graduating high school, traveled to Europe during World War One where he transported by … [Read more...]

Mostly, the reaction will be positive, but there will be times when a sense of repulsion will surface based solely on what is confronting you. In the case of Richard Chase, there was one item that really turned me off. But most of it was interesting and contributed to my … [Read more...]
