This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. This month's media tie-in book is Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, based
on the Showtime original series Dexter. Meet Dexter Morgan. He's a highly respected lab
technician specializing in blood spatter for the Miami Dade Police Department. He's a handsome,
though reluctant, ladies' man. He's polite, says all the right things, and rarely calls attention to
himself. He's also a sociopathic serial killer whose "Dark Passenger" drives him to commit the
occasional dismemberment. Mind you, Dexter's the good guy in this story. For additional

Blackout (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) by Keith R.A. DeCandido. THE DARK IS COMING. . . .New
York City in 1977 is vampire heaven. Serial killer Son of Sam is often blamed for their hits, and a
citywide blackout gives them free reign of the streets, allowing them to get away with murder.
Spike and his beloved Drusilla are in the Big Apple taking advantage of the situation, as is
Vampire Slayer Nikki Wood, who has hunkered down with her son, Robin, in a Times Square
apartment where she thinks they'll be safe. But no matter where she goes, Nikki has to watch her
back. Spike has only one thing on his mind: to slay a slayer. Adding to Spike's list of challenges is
a corrupt local vampire community that catches wind of his presence, and when they start
messing with him, things get bloody interesting. For more information click
www.bordersstores.com/stores/store_pg.jsp?storeID=479. There is a pre-meeting dinner
usually at Mahwah Pizza & Pasta or Moe's Southwest Grill. See Yahoo group for details each
month.
