Summary

Does a monstrous society breed monsters? Hate can twist, contort and mutate into something truly evil within an individual, propelling them to do unspeakable things. In the 1970s, a serial killer stalked the clubs and lounges of San Francisco, targeting gay men. His darkly artistic trademark request to draw his would-be victims led to his nickname, “The Doodler.” His victims lived quietly in fear of being targeted, silenced due to their greater fear of societal discrimination. Fifty years later, the case of The Doodler remains unsolved.

Come see Strange and Unexplained on Tour! Daisy is bringing her FANTASTIC live show--covering The Escape From Alcatraz--to NYC on April 3, Boston on April 20, and Washington DC on April 23. And Daisy will be sticking around for a live Q&A and meet and greet after the show! Get Your Tickets Now!
