"...I am."

Yesterday, I was sitting on BART reading the absolutely fantastic new book, I am Not a Serial Killer [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy] by Dan Wells. It has blood splatter all over the cover. That's how you know it's qualityAnyway, I was happily reading away when the train pulled into Embarcadero Station and a fairly generic-looking white male of

And thus you continue to be a Surreality Nexus.

I did not order my Tuesday with a side of serial killer!

[autographedcat]

Yes, well, we were all out of whimsical phouka, so the kitchen made a substitution. So sorry, we'll be happy to swap that out for a small child with oddly wise eyes who stares sadly at you from across the room.

[seanan_mcguire]

DAMMIT.

I'll keep the serial killer. Stupid substitutions...

"I bet that, for most people, it doesn't come bundled with a maybe-joking-maybe-I-should-lock-the-doors stranger"

Well, of course not. They only do that service for you, not for us mortals, because they know that you will write about it and entertain the rest of us. I mean, could he really expect to get away with that comment to anyone else?

(Some people have such interesting encounters with strangers...)

I would have asked what kind of serial killer he was, and what his methods were. Because I like to pick at abnormal brains. :D

[seanan_mcguire]

He was sort of busy leaving, and I was too stunned to have much of a response beyond "Meep?"

[cupcakery]

Now is the time to go looking through newspaper archives for the past bit and see if there are deaths that nobody's connected.

Although "Meep?" is probably the safest response.

[seanan_mcguire]

That's what I was thinking! On both counts.

mira grant is responsible for this.... somehow.

[autographedcat]

Mira Grant is not a serial killer. Serial killers coalesce out of thin air around her, and then head out into the world.

[dornbeast]

Mira Grant is not a serial killer.

Mira Grant is a serial author.

[seanan_mcguire]

I wouldn't be surprised.
