The calendar was designed and created by American artist, Alison Loomis, and retails at £8.99.

“This is totally sick,” said one man.

“The families of many of those killed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley are still alive - it’s really bad taste.”

One woman, who describes herself as a “true-crime junkie” defended the calendar.

“There’s absolutely no difference between writing a book about a serial killer that people will read and this calendar,” declared the woman.

“People are going out of their way to be offended these days - they are so woke,” added the woman.
