The Basis for the Showtime® Original Series Starring Michael C. HallMeet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep's clothing. He's handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He's a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened--of himself or some other fiend.From the Paperback edition.

I like this type of horror where we are in the mind of the crazy person and knowing it is an unreliable narrator

First time I can say that I liked the show better than the book.
