Do you hold a special place in your heart for the macabre?  Is it  your idea of fun to scour lists of scary facts -- the creepier the  better? 
  
Just in time for Halloween, Adams Media has A  MISCELLANY OF MURDER: From History and Literature to True Crime and  Television, A Killer Selection of Trivia....in stores now!
Easily  designed to partake in snippets, if you're not careful this book can easily be read in one  sitting once you get started.  It's that addictive!
The publicity for the books  states:
   * The worst villains of all time -- from Hannibal Lecter to Charles         Manson
   *  The bloody truth about forensics
   *  Weaponry to die for
   *  Private dicks, dangerous dames, and dubious characters
   *  The most puzzling unsolved mysteries
   *  Who's really gotten away with murder
  
Some of my favorite repeating categories include "first lines,"   delightful opening lines from murder mysteries and "The Quotable  P.I.,"  humorous and insightful quips from our favorite detectives.  But  the true fun of this little gem is that there are plenty of surprise  delights on nearly every page.  I fully expect readers of this collection to discover new and interesting titles to explore.   
  
You won't believe how much fun information is gathered in the  pages of this collection. Separated into convenient chapters like Lust,  Greed, Wrath and  Envy, this book is perfect for a dark and scary night.  Grab it for  yourself and all the mystery fans in your life.
