Spooky season is upon us, and a special mystery falls at the feet of our Murder Mavens. This one takes them somewhere unexpected: The Mauve Mule, a bewitching establishment for a more...adult clientele. What's really going on under all the glitz and glamor? Stay tuned...

Our Patreon patrons are getting an eyeful of the completely artistic and amazing marketing content Cassie put together for The Mauve Mule, as well as a map of the Mule interior. Check us out over at patreon.com/lovelycraftians and see the splendor for yourself.

Mondays are Macabre Monday over on Twitch, where one of the Lovelies hosts a horror game and the rest of us "help." Miss one of those streams? Never you fear, because we're posting them over on our YouTube channel now! Follow and subscribe for notifications.

The Mavens have a new case: an internal investigation that seems...off. Meanwhile, Muriel's dreams seem just a touch too real, and Lulu's brush with an outer god lingers yet, ever watchful.

Nothing bad ever happened from sticking your head through a portal hidden behind a fake wall in a sketchy gated community's garden shed, right? Seems Lulu is about to learn that for herself. Answers lie ahead, but will the Murder Mavens like them? And what will they cost in the long run? Stay tuned...

The Murder Mavens are on the case--er...chase? A neighborhood is plagued by seemingly petty vandalism, but why would something like that cross Gordie's desk?
