K.D. King
Former contestants of a scrapped dating reality show are dying. Alexis Kinkaid never loses. Defeated, heartbroken, and humiliated — she is killing every woman who stood in her way.
Cheris Hodges
Killing was his favorite pastime — not fatherhood. His twin sons have inherited more than his dimples. Now, for the first time, dad is invested in being a father. He has a legacy to pass on.
K.D. King
He does not hunger for women, or love, or sex — though that is what everyone believes. He hungers for blood. For everything. Killing across time, he preys on the lonely and the lustful.
Cheris Hodges
After getting her heart broken for the last time, a woman goes on a killing spree — working through every man who ever broke her heart, one by one, until the list runs out.
K.D. King
First the children are lost. Then they are found. Then they die. A mystery that has plagued this small city for centuries. Any child who goes missing is dead within a week. Lilith wants vengeance — at any cost.
Cheris Hodges
She loves to cook. Nothing brings her more peace than a four-course meal — the chopping, the stirring, the presentation. She dates men who love a woman who cooks. Unfortunately for them, they are the entrée.
K.D. King
Five tourists return from Ghana after drunkenly sipping from a sacred river. One by one, they and their families begin to die. Death is not final — it is the beginning. And sometimes, the beginning is vengeance.
Women 18–44 consume true crime at nearly double the rate of men and purchase 60–70% of all commercial fiction. This is the same demographic that drove Dahmer to 1 billion hours on Netflix.
The serial killer audience is not siloed. The Morbid listener is the McFadden reader is the Monster viewer. Publishers are now explicitly marketing serial killer fiction to streaming audiences by name.
No dedicated multi-author serial killer fiction anthology has been published since 2012. The audience is proven, active, and spending — but the anthology format has been completely vacated.
A View To Kill is Monster: The Anthology Series meets Ask for Andrea meets The Quiet Tenant — the serial killer anthology format audiences are already consuming at scale, delivered as fiction for the first time.

A Flicker in the Dark — 2022 serial killer fiction debut, now an HBO series in production. Publishers and studios are both investing in this category simultaneously.
The Opportunity
Zero commercially published serial killer fiction anthologies exist from 2022–2026. The last was published in 2012. The audience is proven. The format is vacant. A View To Kill is not entering a crowded market — it's creating a category in a growing market.
