It took me a while to finally read this book, but when I did, I loved it. It fed into my fascination with criminology (a minor of my when I was in undergrad) and serial killers (if you don't know anything about them, don't worry, Wells does a great job at info dumping without info dumping, you got this).
"I Am Not A Serial Killer" follows John Wayne Cleaver, a diagnosed sociopath as he struggles with empathy and...well...not being a serial killer (or killer of any sort). He feels as if he is "fated" to become a serial killer, because of his name, his diagnoses, and the fact that they live above a mortuary. So he lives by a set of self-appointed rules, to keep himself in check.
This is all threatened when he notices suspicious behavior in their small, quite town: a serious of murders. Can he solve the crime himself before he succumbs to his own dark desires?
Fair warning: there are some seriously surprising supernatural aspects in this novel that I did NOT see coming.
Trigger warnings: death, killing, creeping supernatural beings, mortuary stuff (blood, needles, dead bodies, etc).
