Are you a fan of true crime and/or stories about serial killers? Is your podcast playlist filled with shows like Serial and My Favorite Murder, and is your bookshelf filled with mystery novels? We're delving into the genre with 2012's YA novel, I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga.

Jasper Dent was raised to be a murderer by his serial killer father, but will he use his wealth of knowledge for good or evil? Jasper wants desperately to put his dark knowledge to use for good, and when a serial killer strikes his small town in ways that are eerily reminiscent of Jasper's own father, Jasper is determined to catch the guy before he strikes again.

This book was almost brought to TV when it came out, and we think it would make a great miniseries! Check out our picks for all the main characters and which actors we think would play great serial killers in this month's episode, but before you do, make sure you pick up a copy of the book... and maybe don't talk to strangers for a while after you read it.

For more information on Barry Lyga, check out his website, https://barrylyga.com/ . He's been writing a lot of superhero novels in recent years, but good news! I Hunt Killers is a trilogy with a few added novellas, and we highly recommend you read all of them to the final bloody conclusion.
