"The third book has a ton of supernatural stuff in it.

Also, I haven't read it but I've heard from someone who has that "Dexter is Delicious" is about vampires. "

The dark passenger is similar to his father - it is a construct of his mind. Nowhere in the book does it manifest itself as discrete from Dexter.

Dexter is Delicious is not about vampires. Not in the slightest.



"As far as people knowing he's a serial killer, from what I remember, his brother is still alive (unlike the TV show), and he is training both Astor and Cody to become serial killers as well. Deb knows he's a serial killer (although she knows on the show now as well). It's like a big family secret that he's out there killing people, unlike on the show where he keeps it from everyone."

Some people know - his immediate family - that's hardly the whole town.
