In this interview, Joe and I discuss Blood and Ink, timing the publication of his book with the 100th year anniversary of the crime, the birth of tabloid journalism, his long-term interest in historical true crime, his research and the documents that he helped uncover about the case, how the title and cover came about, our fascination with true crime, and much more.
Joe's recommended reads are:
American Demon by Daniel Stashower
The House of the Vampire by George Sylvester Viereck
