Halloween is always over to soon, the shops never let us relish in the spookiness of it all with the Christmas stuff coming out around the same time. But it occurred to me that just because it's Christmas doesn't mean we cant still revel in all things horror and true crime.
The last couple of years have been tough for everyone, especially all the independent artists, music makers, crafters and writers. One of the things I love about the world of true crime is the diversity that can be found amongst its followers. I figured I would spend the next four weeks paying homage to all the amazing people I have met and the fantastic independent items they create. That way you get some amazing gift ideas for your true crime lovers and also your helping out small sellers. Sounds like a wining combination to me so onwards with the recommendations. I have created both a UK and USA version so make sure your on the right blog for your country.
