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!
