SynopsisJohn Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He's spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential. He's obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn't want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he's written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation. Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don't demand or expect the empathy he's unable to offer. Perhaps that's what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there's something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat---and to appreciate what that difference means. Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can't control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could. Dan Wells's debut novel, I Am Not a Serial Killer, is the first volume of a trilogy that will keep you awake and then haunt your dreams.

  • Unusual book for certain people.

    Although I enjoyed this book, I can imagine many people not liking it at all. With a background in psychology I am particularly interested in sociopaths, which this book discusses in detail. It also has some graphic depictions of the process of embalming a body for viewing and burial which would turn some people off. I found it interesting, although somewhat macabre. Different book.

  • first and best book of a 6 part series

    Dan wells did his homework regarding homes tending to create psychopath tendencies, which makes for an interesting young hero.
