Cynthia Pelayo recently released a poetry collection centered around real-life cases of missing children. In this week's episode of GHOULISH, we talked about society's obsession with true crime and shared personal experiences with abductions (and near-abductions). We also investigated what the hell a "true crime cruise" is (turns out it's exactly what it sounds like).
