book brian was objectively so much worse than series brian with the gruesomeness of his murders and well the cannibal and cartel stuff but ironically he’s much nicer to children and actually semi-respects Dexter’s attachment to Deborah than series brian ever would be (book brian doesn’t try to kill her after the container, works with her for Dexter’s sake and saves her and her boyfriend)

call book Dexter anything you want but a bad father this guy was fucking insane about his kids. straight up blew up a cartel boat and died with his brother for his and Rita’s children and Deborah’s son. the entirety of Dexter is delicious is just Dexter going “why am i at work and doing anything when I could be home with my baby girl?” like he was just worrying the whole day and he doesn’t even gaf about Rita that was solely for the kid.

anyway Dexter show robbed us from Lily Anne and Dexter’s utter infatuation with his child. i’ll never forget that showtime took away girl dad Dexter, never.

i think my favourite part of the entire Dexter book series is that Brian and Dexter are essentially identical so there’s no way Dexter can socially distance himself from being Brian’s brother. i also like how he actually does lean on Brian from time to time and sees him as a resource/helping hand rather than a stain on his past.

or maybe i just like that Brian is weirder, a cannibal and very sweet to Rita’s kids in the books.

i really like the Dexter books and Jeff Lindsay because he doesn’t try to trick you, when Dexter dies he actually dies, and hedoesnt bring him back multiple times purely to milk the franchise for more money while sucking the life out of the story by retconning way too much from the original material.. coughcough dextershowrunners

excerpt from Dexter is Delicious, chapter one by Jim Lindsay;

“ Everything has changed. A world with Lily Anne Morgan in it is so completely unknown: prettier, cleaner, neater edges, brighter colors. Things taste better now, even the Snickers bar and cup of vending machine coffee, all I have had for twenty-four hours. The candy bar's flavor was far more subtle than I had known before, and the coffee tasted of hope. Poetry flows into my icy cold brain and trickles down to my fingertips, because all is new and wonderful now. And far beyond the taste of the coffee is the taste of life itself. Now it is something to nurture, protect, and delight in. And the thought comes from far out beyond bizarre that perhaps life is no longer something to feed on in the terrible dark frenzy of joy that has defined me until this new apocalyptic moment. Maybe Dexter's world should die now, and a new world of pink delight will spring from the ashes. And the old and terrible need to slash the sheep and scatter the bones, to spin through the wicked night like a thresher, to seed the moonlight with the tidy leftovers of Dexter's Dark Desiring? Maybe it's time to let it go, time to let it drain away until it is all gone, vanished utterly.

Lily Anne is here and I want to be different.

I want to be better than what I have been.

I want to hold her. I want to sit her on my lap and read her Christopher Robin and Dr. Seuss. I want to brush her hair and teach her about toothpaste and put Band-Aids on her knees. I want to hug her in the sunset in a room full of puppies while the band plays "Happy Birthday," and watch her grow up into wonderful beautiful cancer-curing symphony-writing adulthood, and to do that I cannot be who I have always been-and that is fine with me, because I realize one more important thing.

I don't want to be Dark Dexter anymore. ”

Book Reviews: Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

Book Reviews: Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

Darkly Dreaming Dexter

“Darkly Dreaming Dexter” by Jeff Lindsayis the first book in the series of books that made the Showtime television show so cool. The big thing here is that people always talk about how the “book” is usually better. I wanted to see for myself if that is the case with Lindsay’s book. Well, after reading this, I was pleasantly surprised by what is similar and what isn’t so…

Nothing in life is fair. Fair is a dirty word and I’ll thank you not to use that language around me.
