Earlier this year, Vulture reported on the curious case of paranormal-romance author Sherrilyn Kenyon, who claimed that "her ex and one of her former assistants hatched a ‘Shakespearean plot' to murder her by poison." That claim led to a $20 million lawsuit in which Kenyon alleged that her estranged husband, Lawrence (the divorce is not yet complete), and two co-conspirators had engaged in a years-long campaign of secret abuse to steal the author's money and sabotage her career, and, in the case of Lawrence and one of the co-conspirators, even taint her food in hopes of claiming her life-insurance money after her death.
