The Thousands

You don’t have to perform murder to be a part of this club. Just write to and stir a postal relationship with someone who’s done one.

The pages of this pen pal manual hijacks all the big names; the L-5 Bandit, David Berkowitz, Fred Waterfield alongside other lesser knowns like Debra Brown.

These killers are jailed for life, so what’s a few lines to a new friend in their time-rich, four-walled world? Hell, channeling literary gore from the source is obscure, but what else are you doing with your summer. Swim?**This zine lists their current jail addresses and a friendly side of notes to get your pencil active and head rolling. Things like, get a p.o. box first (!), and know that most killers only respond to females, so assuming a new identity may be required.

So you know, you’ll be competing with any number of sick nuts for their attention and murderabilia is really valuable too. So, if you’ve always wanted a letter from a serial killer for Christmas, this is your chance to knock it dead.
