"In the hunt for a serial killer nicknamed the Gay Slayer, the U.K.’s top crime show outed me to the entire country. They then doubled-down, comparing me to a gay teenage street prostitute. Everyone has their own path to the world of true crime. That was mine. . ."

Author D. J. Swales, international tumbleweed of 120 countries and 45 U.S. states, invites you to explore the Dark Earth. Discover a new perspective on true crime, dark travel journals, serial killers, twisted history, mysteries, cryptids, and terrifying folklore.

When D. J.'s travel journals burned in Seoul, he wrote new ones. Enjoy all your favourite dark themes from wanderings on the open road. From the dangerous world of London rent boys, to familiar places seen from dark paths after midnight.
