Question: anybody have really really good recs on novels with, by or about serial killers? Movies also acceptable. Will be renting Manhunter later this month. Bonus points if there's "if you stare into the abyss" angst from the person hunting the murderer.

(I'm asking for raven-verse. Trying to get into the killer's head a little.)

I did, too-- maybe I was just feeling shaky anyway around the time that I watched it, but it disturbed me enough that I've only watched it once.

Me, too! I watched Seven several times, because part of the appeal of the movie, once you've had the shock of "what's in the box", etc, is the reactions of the crowd around you. Morbid, but funny in spots, too.

But I've only watched 8MM once...it's just too moving and it *reverberates* for a long time. An all-around great piece of work, though, in terms of script-writing, acting, and cinematography.
