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 actually really enjoyed Zodiac, with Jake Gyllenhaal. I watched it on a packed flight from Tokyo to San Francisco and even surrounded by people I was scared (although reading about the Zodiac killer on the web is enough to give me chills). It doesn't have the typical kind of cheap scary movie thrills, but just a really ominous ambiance topped by an excellent use of suspense. The last scene with Gyllenhaal in the basement was so creepy that I had to switch to the TV half way through in order to collect myself.
