We could call it an obsession.

I used to worry if I was a weird teen, curled up with my latest serial killer biographical novel, with a glass of milk on the side table and the covers pulled up to my chin. They terrified me, but I couldn't stop reading them. Turns out, I was not alone. Far from it.

This True Crime and Murder enthusiast stat might surprise you.

It seems like the worldwide obsession with true crime and murder stories continues to climb. Some of the world's most popular podcasts are True Crime and book sales on this genre continue to soar, same with television docs and series!

According to several studies like this one detailed in Forbes magazine, which you can read here, women are historically more inclined to read true crime and murder novels.

I am not alone!!! LOL

But what about in my hometown of Victoria?
