With the holidays just a couple of weeks away I can imagine some of you may be freaking out. Whether you’ve simply forgotten, or just have no idea what to get anybody, you have no reason to fear. Over the last month the team here at GGA have produced some wonderful gift guides that should take the stress out of holiday shopping. As for that pesky true crime lover in your life? We’ll take care of them too with this fun and potentially traumatizing gift guide.
For the Book Worm
Let’s be honest, the title says it all. Michael Newton’s The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers is a deep dive into some of the most notorious serial killers of all time. As it says, it’s an encyclopedia so it is all fact based on cases such as Jack the Ripper, The Green River Killer and Jeffrey Dahmer. Makes for a great coffee table book for your favorite weirdo and is available on Amazon for $19.95.
