The concept of making a serial killer the protagonist of a story emerged into pop culture with Dexter (though this isn’t the first example in literary history), and shook up the way we viewed these types of tales. The questioning of sanity and the ambiguity of morals cement the plot, and developed the story in manner that fans thrived on – whether they are fans of the books and/or television series.
A Voice In The Dark shoplifts this concept, but places the setting in the form of a protagonist named Zoey Aarons. That’s right: a female serial killer. And not just any female serial killer, but a young one, at age 18, and the host of a dark talkback show on college radio called A Voice In The Dark. Like the Dexter mythos, Zoey hides in plain sight.
