Line 47:
* Several books/movies based on the Torso Murder (a Cleveland serial killer) such as ''Butcher's Dozen'' or John Peyton Cooke's novel ''Torso''.
* ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' had an episode with a serial killer in Cleveland. Unfortunately, [[wikipedia: Cleveland Torso Murderer|real life]] has been [[wikipedia: Anthony Sowell|just as shocking]]<ref>Although [[wikipedia: Ariel Castro kidnappings|one real-life story]] had an incomprehensibly happy ending in comparison.</ref>.
* ''Blood and Rust'' by S. A. Swiniarski – a book that contains two vampire stories set in Cleveland.
* ''[[Route 66]]'' – several episodes take place in Cleveland, despite the fact that [[Did Not Do the Research|the famed U.S. Route '''never passed through Cleveland''']]<ref>Nor anywhere east of Chicago, for that matter.</ref>.
* The short story [http://sfreader.com/contest-2008-1.asp "On a Clear Day You can See All the Way to Conspiracy"] by Desmond Warzel.
Line 58:
* In ''[[Kids Next Door]]'' Numbuh 1's history report decribes the founding of an adult paradise, "they named it Cleveland."
* In Deadpool's ending in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]] 3'', {{spoiler|he accidentally destroys Cleveland during a drunken party aboard Galactus' ship.}}
* [[Carl Sandburg]]'s poem "[http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15265 Honky Tonk in Cleveland, Ohio]" seems to paint the Cleveland of the first half of the 20th century as a happening jazz and blues scene, albeit with a darker undertone of hedonism and disappointment for the common worker (in keeping with Sandburg's [[Political Ideologies|socialism]])<ref>Ironic because Cleveland, in real life, was an immigrant-infused industrial city favorable to organized trade labor unions and progressive politics. Among the municipal departments established that survive to this day include [[wikipedia: Cleveland Public Power|a publicly-run electric utility]] designed mainly to keep [[wikipedia: Cleveland Electric Illuminating|the privately-run electric utility]]'s prices in line.</ref>.
* Les Roberts's series of detective novels featuring Milan Jacovich (fifteen books as of 2011).
* In ''[[Skin Horse]]'', the transgenic convention takes place in Cleveland.
