About this listen
On the special Thursday episode, V chats with Cathy Pickens about her adventure into true crime.
"True Crime Stories of the South"
Explore the dark side of the South…
The South boasts a rich storytelling tradition--and a rich history of criminal behavior. From Texas to the Virginias, each place has different stories to tell. Several involve writers of the first order: Harper Lee researched true crime in Alabama and Zora Neale Hurston reported on a landmark murder trial in Florida. A serial killer leaves Louisiana to travel the country, a lonely-hearts swindler visits Texas, Arkansas witnesses a surprising spate of unrelated strychnine poisonings, a West Virginia murder is revealed in a dream, and a one-armed conjure-man commits murder-for-hire in North Carolina. Forensic science expands the crimefighters' toolkit in this tour of some of the South's true crime cases.
Crime writer Cathy Pickens brings a novelist's eye to the sinister South and its defining--and quirky--crime stories.
