As reported by Buzzfeed, the press release from publisher Forge books states that the book will focus on the experiences of the two Head Murderinos: “Sharing never-before-heard stories ranging from their struggles with depression, eating disorders, and addiction, Karen and Georgia irreverently recount their biggest mistakes and deepest fears, reflecting on the formative life events that shaped them into two of the most followed voices in the nation.”

Part of the success of “My Favorite Murder”, and what has set it apart from other true crime podcasts comes from the personalities and relationship of Kilgariff and Hardstark, who pepper true crime tales with humor, a fierce empathy for the victims of the stories, and tales of their own life told with unapologetic frankness. “Working on this book has allowed us to dig deeper into some of the stories we have only hinted at on the podcast or haven’t told before at all,” Kilgariff and Hardstark are quoted in the Buzzfeed article. “We can’t wait to share the results with our listeners.”
