Its sequel, Mr. Monster, was released in 2010 in the UK. The third installment, I Don't Want to Kill You, was released in January 2011 in the UK and in March 2011 in the US. The fourth installment, The Devil's Only Friend was released June 15, 2015. The fifth installment, Over Your Dead Body was released on May 3, 2016 Wells has stated that he wrote the book with himself as the target audience and that although "a teenager protagonist means the book is [young adult]", the book "is 'adult' enough that different markets are treating it very differently: in the UK it’s a YA horror, in Germany it’s an adult thriller, and in the US it’s being marketed to both audiences."[2] Plot summaryThe book follows 15-year-old John Wayne Cleaver, a diagnosed sociopath who lives above a mortuary owned by his mother. He fears that he is "fated" to become a serial killer, and so lives by a set of rules designed to keep his homicidal impulses in check. His careful regime of self-denial is threatened when he becomes ensnared in a serial murder case in which he senses a connection with the killer. ReceptionCritical reception for I Am Not A Serial Killer was mostly positive,[3] with many reviewers stating that the book's twist partway through the novel "may turn off thriller readers who prefer not to mix genres."[4][5] Kirkus Reviews praised the book for its "completely believable teenage sociopath (with a heart of gold), dark humor, a riveting mystery and enough description of embalming to make any teen squeamish even if they won’t admit it".[6] Film adaptationBilly O'Brien directed a film adaptation, which stars Christopher Lloyd, Max Records and Laura Fraser. Animator Toby Froud has done design work for the film, while Robbie Ryan serves as cinematographer.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|title=FANGORIA #293 COVER AND CONTENTS!|url=http://www.fangoria.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=362:first-look-fangoria-293-cover-and-contents&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=167|publisher=Fangoria|accessdate=28 February 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=INTERVIEW – In Conversation With Dan Wells (Author of I Am Not A Serial Killer & Mr Monster)|url=http://alternativemagazineonline.co.uk/2010/02/18/interview-in-conversation-with-dan-wells-author-of-i-am-not-a-serial-killer-mr-monster/|publisher=Alternative Magazine Online|accessdate=28 February 2013}} 3. ^{{cite news|url= http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-06-27/books/21928106_1_serial-killer-simple-title-parts |title= Science fiction and fantasy column|author= Michael Berry|date= June 27, 2010 |work= SFGate }} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Review: I Am Not a Serial Killer|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-7653-2247-0|publisher=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=28 February 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Review: 'I Am Not a Serial Killer' hacks, stabs to own beat|url=http://journalstar.com/entertainment/arts-and-culture/books/article_bf381de6-6f40-11df-8a7b-001cc4c002e0.html|publisher=Journal Star|accessdate=28 February 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Review: I Am Not A Serial Killer|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/dan-wells/i-am-not-a-serial-killer/|publisher=Kirkus Reviews|accessdate=28 February 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|title="I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER" gets rolling with Christopher Lloyd et al.|url=http://www.fangoria.com/new/i-am-not-a-serial-killer-gets-rolling-with-christopher-lloyd-et-al/|publisher=Fangoria|accessdate=28 February 2013}} External links
