BALTIMORE MAGAZINE Reviews Criminally Yours:
"this tiny gem collects local crime stories submitted mainly by readers of both publications. The results are, by turns, harrowing and hilarious—slices of urban life that, most likely, never made the papers but made for a good tale on a barstool...You’ll have to read the zine to find out what happens, but like a number of these stories, it speaks to the small town feeling that still exis ts in parts of the city."
