@MuchAdoAboutNil Glad you enjoyed!

KILL SHOW by @WrittenByDSB is a dark, satirical look at our fascination with true-crime stories. Written as a series of interviews, the novel follows the twists and turns of a missing-person case, creating a propulsive narrative I couldn’t put down. Highly recommended.

@MuchAdoAboutNil @MattGCraig Nice, hope you enjoy!

@Lizzy11268 @Tr4cyF3nt0n Thanks for sharing!

Book 14 of 2024 (bought after a recommendation from @Tr4cyF3nt0n thanks Tracy! ) #KillShow @WrittenByDSB I thought this was superb. A cautionary "true crime" fictional tale that throws up all sorts of moral dilemmas whilst being an excellent read. Out now.

Wow. The similarities to Kill Show are eerie. Four or Five identical details. Sadly, this story is actually true. nytimes.com/2024/01/12/us/…

@michaelbsacks One side of my family is from Baltimore, so I am a little familiar with the surrounding area and the regional tics. And crazy O's fans!

@WrittenByDSB Can't wait to read this. Are you from Maryland? How'd you pick Frederick (great place, by the way).

My new novel KILL SHOW is out today! A girl goes missing and Hollywood invades to make a show about it...what could go wrong? If you like reality TV or True Crime content, DO NOT READ THIS! It will ruin everything for you Everyone else, grab at your local store or order online

@wbeckeroo @nytimes Lol, if you're gonna embarrass me like that, at least tag my author handle! 😘 @WrittenByDSB

This is crazy. KILL SHOW come to life. Horrific crimes lead to TV deal for killer's wife Victim's sister: “The way that the media will buy stories to further re-victimize, re-traumatize, and exploit the families & victims of serial killers is evil!” nytimes.com/2023/11/28/nyr…

@zoewilliamson__ So nice to hear this, thanks for sharing! And sorry about the sleep!

Book 66 🧡 Stayed up later than planned to finish Kill Show @WrittenByDSB but I just couldn't put it down. I love this style of 'true crime' writing! Plenty of revelations, the feel of watching a documentary, and gets you thinking about the world's true crime obsession. 4⭐📖

@AvramLavinsky @HankPRyan So nice to hear this, thanks for sharing!

I discovered @WrittenByDSB 's Kill Show Tuesday, on Crime Time with @HankPRyan (youtube.com/watch?v=xumyCa…), bought the audio book, and devoured it on my long commute. Once I acclimated to the bold experimental form, it really hooked me. Compelling. Provocative. Utterly unique.
