VladSander asks, Of all the topics you have ever covered or want to cover, which has been the hardest to separate fiction from reality?
There is one episode I had to abandon in the middle of writing it. It was the episode on the first American serial killer, H.H. Holmes. The reason I had to abandon it is because so many of the stories I read about him turned out to be false.
The newspapers of the time greatly exaggerated the crimes he committed and when I began to research it I put it on hold because the his reality was so different from the story I thought I was going to be telling.I did eventually do the episode, but it was very different from what I thought it would originally be.
