Serial killers fascinate people. Despite their almost mythologized standing in everyone's knowledge, they are a nearly objectivized type of evil that slithers their way into everyday suburbia, classrooms, or even the very comfort of our homes. We occasionally have a tendency to forget those serial killers are a very real thing. They gain a more substantial layer to their reputation as a result. We are no longer dealing with the vampiric or monster nightmares of our imagination. We are instead faced with the very real potential of an unintentional death caused by something much worse than a ravenous vampire or an obscure terror.

When it comes to introducing the lasting horror of the “Diary of a Serial Killer,” author Shawn Davis not only delivers but exceeds expectations. The murderer—who appears to be a regular person with a peculiar preoccupation with murder—serves as the plot's antagonist. He is a pure sociopath who views his actions as a form of art. Seeing others as nothing more than targets to sate his ruthless drive to treat them like prey. The actions of the book's heroes are still visible amidst the killer's silent but nonetheless lethal onslaught. Men and women work relentlessly to connect the dots and bring the murderer to justice.

The narrative itself bears a striking resemblance to historical accounts of actual serial killers. We observe a city under attack from an invisible predator. A killer whose threat is underrated, and a hero who must fight not just the haze that surrounds the mystery, but also time itself considering that this is not the tale of a killer who waits impassively. This is a hunter that is constantly on the lookout for prey. “Diary of a Serial Killer” is unquestionably a thriller that every fan of mysteries should own.
