Dear Diary

Cheris Hodges

A woman reads the diary of her great-grandmother — a woman who killed every slave master and every predatory man she encountered on the Underground Railroad. History has a body count.

Second City Murders

K.D. King

Lakon Morrodon runs across galaxies killing those sworn to protect. After an attempt on the Chicago Mayor's life, he begins hunting Unit 544. On his heels: bounty hunter Basharis, racing to save the innocent — and her former mentor.

The One Who Lived

Cheris Hodges

St. Brown preyed on Black women — the ones no one would miss. He was caught. But the cops won't save him. Neffy's mother was one of his victims, and she will have her vengeance.

Dating Is Murder

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.

Gen X Killer

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.

Demon's Lust

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.

Open Window

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.

The Lost Children

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.

Cooked with Love

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.

Death's Vengeance

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.

Who Is Already Buying This

44%
vs. 23% of male listeners
The Core Buyer

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.

158M
U.S. podcast listeners, 2025
Cross-Platform Consumer

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.

An Audience With No Book

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.

Books → HBO — In Production

Book → HBO

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.
