Creative Nonfiction Issue 45

Who needs air conditioning? Creative Nonfiction's long-awaited true crime issue, CNF #45, brings a welcome chill to the summer season. Wrapped in a noir-inspired cover are true stories of unsolved murders, grave-robbing, identity theft, abduction, addiction, and more.

This issue also features an Encounter with Erik Larson, as well as columns on our long-standing fascination with true crime; sex worker memoirs; the ethics of writing about violence; legal help for writers; and side gigs for the nonfiction 99%.
