The serial killer has become an obsession ever since Jack
the Ripper became a media sensation, embedding a new and
horrifying type of murderer into our cultural consciousness—
one who kills darkly and in the dark. All popular media—print,
radio, television, and so on—have become absorbed by this
new figure. This book traces its diffusion through all media
and discusses what this reveals about modern society. Us-
ing the Dexter saga of novels and television programs as its
basis, the book argues that a “Dexter Syndrome" has emerged
whereby we no longer see a difference between real and fic-
tional serial killers. The psychological and social reasons for
this are explored by tracing pop culture texts themselves
(movies, novels, etc.). Above all else, Dexter's concept of a
“moral code" forms a thematic thread that allows the author
to argue that our contemporary moral nihilism has produced
the demand for horror and horrific characters like serial killers,
who have replaced medieval demons and monsters.
