ABOUT ME

Hi there. Welcome to a world of mayhem, murder, and revenge. Here I delve into the lives of some of the most notorious kingpins and mafia characters that history has to offer.

​

My name is Cris Griffin, a criminology student from Madrid interested in finding out more about what turned these individuals into the feared criminals that they are today. Crime has always fascinated me, from the motive behind it to the specific events that lead one person down a noble path and another down a path of lawlessness.

​

So, in search for these answers, I went down the path of criminology as a university degree. In it I have found a new way of looking at the world and its citizens that I had never thought of before. Before this, I was an art student, but I found that it wasn’t my calling. I still love it for sure, and everyone should have a hobby. But somehow, I was more drawn to the crimes committed in the art world than the actual art. So here I am, taking a chance on a different road and seeing where it leads.

​

And why this topic you may ask? Well, it’s always been something that calls to me. I find myself lost in the stories about organizations, bosses, and wars. It’s a subject I want to specialize in once I’m done with my degree. So, for now, I’m investigating on my own trying to learn as much as I can and hoping to help others in search of the same thing.

​

If you find yourself just as curious as me about these subjects, then this is your place. You can find stories about famous kingpins or hitmen that have lived and breathed the mobster life. And, for those looking for even more, there are also recommendations for books, TV Shows and movies based on or about this world. You can also find quizzes to test your knowledge, with trivia about different mafia topics. And finally, I'll be posting some freestyle poems I've written, some inspired by this kind of life. I'm new at this and I haven't posted any before, so go easy on me. Most of them will be in English since I find it easier to write in. I will also post a translation.

​

Also, feel free to give suggestions, ask questions and participate as much as you want. All the feedback is welcome and wanted. I hope you like this blog and find the subject as riveting as me, because let me tell you the drama and revenge in these stories is like a movie in itself.

​

Hope you enjoy and thank you for reading!
