On This Curious New Subgenre

I write in vulgar vein using the language of hucksters and pedlars.

--Lu Hsun, The True Story of Ah Q

The Bookhouse Boy, a blogger who writes about crime in the news and culture, recently gathered together yours truly, Steve Huff of The Dark Side, and Trench of The Trenchcoat Chronicles and News of Doom, for a cyber-chat on the subject of true crime blogging. The result: The First True Crime Blog Roundtable and Potluck Bingo Dance, in which the four musketeers attempt to rationalize our mania for dark and terrible stories, and perhaps the even more curious habit of sharing them for free.
