Product Description
"You can afford to laugh at murder as a long as you're safely a century or so away from it... the killers we make fun of are good and dead. If they weren't, we know a pair of writers who would be." - Fine and Friedkin

Makes a great gift!
bought this as a gift for my husband - he even asked for it! Only gave it a 4 because I haven't given it to him and I would want to be sure he enjoyed it.
