For more than 20 years, the print zine MURDER CAN BE FUN has dedicated itself to the unpleasant, unhealthy, yet oddly gratifying task of reveling in the more sordid and violent side of life. Dead people in Disneyland. Santa Cruz Serial Killers. Molasses Floods. Soccer Riots. And all that other fun stuff. (updated 5/4/11)
