My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

I was listening to the latest episode called why pigeons and you every time I hear those titles and y'all were saying how big the Guinness book of world records was in the eighties and I knew I needed to write in.

Leonard T. Frisco lived a full and successful life under the radar and managed to secure himself a long standing spot in the Guinness book of world records as the longest escaped and recaptured prisoner.

So Claude Willis slash Leonard T. Frisco is the longest running escaped and recaptured prisoner that there is.

You did things like sit in your aunt's living room and read the Guinness Book of World Records.

Robert Wadlow was in the Guinness Book of World Records.

And then like the book, Maus by Art Spiegelman, it's a personal story that makes you understand much broader sense by focusing on these people that you care about.

Everyone has such a specific story. There were babies born, there were marriages happening in secret, they were falling in love, they were trying to survive, they were trying to help their families survive. And then the ways out and I mean, it's just, it encompasses so much and it's just... I think that everyone should read it to kind of get an understanding more so than just like the chapter in the fucking history book at high school.

I mean, if you haven't read Maus by Art Spiegelman... It's a graphic novel and it's M-A-U-S. So look that up. Yeah. If you haven't read that yet, you absolutely should and have to. It's quite a work of art, but it's also true story. It's Art Spiegelman's parents' story. And so it's really worth it. It's really eye opening and it's really amazing.

Essentially, I just tried to boil it down. Everybody knows we've all watched the history channel 1 million times. But essentially... Read the book Maus or read, look at the book M-A-U-S.

Read the book Maus or read, look at the book M-A-U-S.

It's one of the most incredible things I've ever read. It's so incredible and horrifying and what a terrible time.

Well, it's like Charlotte's Web. It's like, get ready to cry your fucking eyes out.

Adding that to Charlotte's Web and all the shit you already knew.

Well, it's like Charlotte's Web. It's like, get ready to cry your fucking eyes out.

I am reading the John Douglas Mark Oleshaker book that's like the Mindhunter dudes. This is their new book. It's fucking gory. It's good. It's interesting.

Yeah, I dig it. I love it because they do such a good job at writing and blending all those stories together. So it's just - They are. You just keep getting another case and another case.

Mind Hunter, even though the show, there's like a couple of cases that are similar.

Hello, Mindhunter. We're going to get something.

And there actually is a book called Mind Hunter and that's what the, the book is about.

So if you really want like the deep down story, which I would highly recommend, I think I want to read this book after I got those two hunting monsters.

So if you really want like the deep down story, which I would highly recommend, I think I want to read this book after I got those two hunting monsters.

He was a famous crime writer and he was also ex LAPD detective. His name is Joseph Wamba. And he wrote a book called Fire Lover. So if you really want like the deep story, which I would highly recommend, I think I want to read this book after...

I actually read this book and recommended it, recommended it on the show.

It was really well written and it was really, it's very sinister.

She just recommended a book. So this is actually not a recommendation, but I'm this is the book I'm picking to read after this because I just finished the other one. An author named Ilan Green, who is a writer, a very accomplished writer.

He wrote a it's a true crime book called Last Call, a true story of love, lust and murder in queer New York. And it's the story of the Last Call killer. That's right. From the 90s.

Yes. And I cannot wait to read it. It's that the reviews are amazing. And Rachel McCarthy, James recommended it today on Twitter and was basically like this is going to be amazing.

I think about that because there's Charles Dickens I think it's Bleak House where one of the characters owns what they call a curiosity shop which is a basically a vintage store but in Victorian times for like antiques

In Charles Dickens, 1853 novel Bleak House, which the inside a classic.

Well, just because there's a bleak there's a version of Bleak House. There's many. You go on to like Amazon Prime. There's many.

It is so well made. It is so it is so like it's such good TV and it's a series.

It's one of the best ones.

It's the first important detective novel in English literature. And there's a featured character based on Witcher named Inspector Bucket.

So still, that's right. Still, the theory of spontaneous combustion doesn't really hit mainstream until the 19th century, the spooky 19th century, when none other than Charles Dickens publishes a novel called Bleak House.

And in that novel, right, Dickens kills off alcoholic character Crook with spontaneous combustion.

And then I said, since Dickens, you know, doesn't exist yet, the theory that you're not supposed to feed the trolls and respond to them. He responds by writing a preface to the book where he says spontaneous combustion is a real cause of death and that there are at least 30 historical cases proving him right.

I'll read the novella, The Body.

I think that one's good.

Stephen King grew up in Durham, the town next to my town, although he now has a residence up in Bangor. It's said that the town influenced the settings for The Body, aka Stand By Me and It.
