Although there is usually something that can make the killer slip up. Dexter is not your average serial killer, because he kills for a different reason. I think the motivation is vital to understanding the serial killer's mindset. Dexter has a chilling perspective and possible control over the outcome of a murder investigation. Not to mention, Dexter can make sure the killers never get out of jail and repeat the same crimes over again.

Sho.com(Official Showtime Site) has an array of choices to get involved in the "Dexter" maddness. You can play a game where you will find clues hidden around

a serial killer's home. You will have access to Dexter's victim files, where you will get all the gory details about the slain victims. If that is not enough to feed your killer appetite, then you can learn from blood spatter 101. This is your opportunity to study the gruesome art of blood spatter analysis. Are you ready? 

As I was researching Dexter on the internet, I found a website about a Dexter book. Upon closer examination, I noticed the name Jeff Lindsay and I never have heard of him before. He authored the book, "Darkly Dreaming Dexter", which is the basis for the Dexter series. Jeff Lindsay has given us a psychopath who is so unusual, yet he is entirely likable. Dexter's standards reach out to stop criminals dead in their tracks and he has a soft spot for children. Hence, his strong dislike for child molesters and making sure they are six feet under.  Look for "Dexter" on DVD soon!

Dexter goes into a world of self exploration and is able to play-act at being normal. What is normal? Dexter brings us into his world through his eyes as an outsider. Incidently, the cover for Jeff Lindsay's, "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" has a knife with blood on it. If you look closely at the blood on the knife, you will see a smiley face. What a beautiful way to express dark humor, while waking the curosity of the reader.

I am applauding Showtime for bringing this "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" to life! I

will forever love CSI(Original Series) and you really get involved in solving the crimes. You will get to enjoy a similar experience with Dexter, but with a forensic serial killer's twist. I think it is wise to beaware of our surroundings, so that if a crime does occur, we have more than a blurred memory to offer investigators. It

is easy to rush through life and miss some crucial details around us each day. Computers now list the child molesters in your community and in most post

offices you will see a list of predators. Should you take the time to familiarize yourself with these criminals? Absolutely!
