Darkly Dreaming Dexter

What really goes on inside the mind of a serial killer? AND How on earth do women manage to fall in love with these men?

In a series of books laden with sarcasm, adventure and a twisted sense of humor, Jeff Lindsay manages to answer two age-old questions that have been plaguing society for years:

1. What really goes on inside the mind of a serial killer? and
2. How on earth do women manage to fall in love with these men?

With a deft hand and a well thought out cast of characters, Lindsay portrays the believable world of Dexter Morgan, serial killer at large. Mixing equal amounts of charm, intelligence, and humor, Lindsay weaves storylines that seem somehow plausible despite the unusual choice of hero in the story. Despite Dexter’s unsavory hobby, he is a fair representative of the common man, and deals with struggles that any of us can recognize; What am I supposed to say in this situation? Why is my relationship taking this particular turn? Who ate the last jelly doughnut? Because Dexter is lacking the genuine ability to feel emotion, he has constructed a life that is full of rules, structure, and practiced responses to various situations. And he passes himself off as a human, when he really is a monster.

And while Dexter Morgan may be a man with no emotions and a dastardly dangerous demon, he is OUR dangerous demon, and his fun, quirky, interesting viewpoint is addictive, seductive, and completely loveable. Watch out ladies, this is one bad boy whose charms you will succumb to. I know I have.

And yes, this is the Dexter of Showtime's TV Series.
