The Dexter Novels

What came first? The chicken or the egg or in this case, the novel or the show? Jeff Lindsay's rule oriented serial killer first appeared in novel form. If you've watched all of the Showtime series and are afraid you'll just be re-reading what you've already seen; don't. Although the first book and the first season are very similar, the endings are quite different and the two depart and go their own way. The novel version of Dexter is more sinister and the voice of the Dark Passenger constantly reminds the reader, Dexter is not compassionate, he's not a good guy- he's a serial killer.  If you're having Dexter withdrawal or just hate the way the tv series ended, pick these thrilling novels up. Dexter is now appearing in graphic novels too!

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns By Frank Miller

I used to watch the old Batman reruns with Adam West when I was a kid. I thought Batman was funny and a bit cheesy but the love for him remained. There was something in those blue tights and cool Batmobile that left me fascinated. But when I read Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, I saw Batman as not just a superhero but as a man, troubled by his past and his future, a real human being. Take the trip into the legend and the darkness that stirs inside.
