"When one of my early reviews said "Jeff Lindsay is revitalising the genre" it shocked the hell out of me, I was not aware it was a genre. It's certainly not anything I read. I like historical fiction. But there is too much research for a lazy bastard like me."
- Jeff Lindsay
I'm a huge fan of the lovable serial killer Dexter books. Weird but true, the savage softie holds a huge place in my literary heart despite these novels are nothing like my usual reading fair.
So it was with a "SQUEEEE!!!" of excitement that I read this awesome little interview with his creator Jeff Lindsay on the NZ Herald website and a double "SQUEEEE!!!" I read that number five in the series is already underway!!!
I've never watched the telly series though - has anyone else? Have you read the books as well and how do the two compare?

I *have* seen the TV series, but haven't read the books....yet. The tv show was pretty darn good, but I love the actor who plays Dexter. He used to be on Six Feet Under which was a GREAT show as well. Anyway, tv show was intense, but I'm sure not as intense as the books (they never are, are they?). I would recommend a watch.
The TV series is absolutely fantastic but after season 1 bears no resemblance to the books at all. Seasons 2 & 3 (with 4 starting in September) are based on entirely new story lines, but are a wonderful compliment to the books.
Also season 1, while based on the first book, does change the ending quite considerably.
the series is brilliant! and six feet under- one of the best written shows ever.
The TV series was amazing!
