The Alley Theatre’s production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ shows that the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Houston. The mere existence of this year’s show is glorious.

Serial Killer Whisperer by Pete Earley The Serial Killer Whisperer was a very well written book. It had many interesting facts about Tony Ciaglia and Serial Killers. I personally love how it takes you into the mind of the 15-year-old boy Tony, the minds of serial killers.

Roosevelt came up with
