Line 198:
* Serial killers are the main subject of ''[[I Am Not a Serial Killer]]''.
* In ''The Hellfire Club'' by Peter Straub, Dick Dart is most definitely this, despite how much he ''hates'' being called this by the media.
* In ''Stationery Voyagers'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20111105111452/http://dozerfleetwiki2.wiki-site.com/index.php/Cybomec_%28Consto%29 Clandish Consto] toys around with the idea of making a career out of being a Serial Killer. Then, he decides to become a full-blown terrorist instead (with plans to become [[A God Am I|a god]]).
* Gretchen "the Beauty Killer" Lowell, first introduced in ''Heartsick'', has tortured and killed over 200 people, whether alone or by manipulating her lovers into killing for her.
* ''[[Kafka on the Shore]]'', by Haruki Murakami, has a strange example: a character known as Johnny Walker (very strongly implied if not proven to be {{spoiler|the dad of the main character, Kafka}}.) Why is it strange? {{spoiler|Instead of people, he kills cats, and eats their hearts}}.
Line 297:
* [[Steely Dan]]'s "Midnight Cruiser"
* [[Queen]]'s "Killer Queen"
** [[Word of God]] is that this is [https://web.archive.org/web/20101003032225/http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg
* [[Talking Heads]]' "Psycho Killer"
* Pretty much everything by Macabre, or really any [[Death Metal]] band.
Line 356:
* ''[[The Dragon Doctors]]'': The Doctors confronted a magical serial killer in their "Messenger of Death" chapter. The murderer killed several shamans using summoned spirits of his own; finding out what spirits were used to determine the character profile of the murderer was the main focus of the plot.
* ''[[Achewood]]'': Nice Pete, who combines type 1 (visionary) and type 4 (power/control) with a thoroughly creepy dead-eyed stare.
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120829045451/http://jared.smackjeeves.com/ Jared]'' features four serial killer characters. Mary and Shia are more Headonistic, while Lilac seems to like the power. Jared is more of an antisocial killer.
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', [[Base Breaker|Vriska Serket]] and [[Dirty Coward|Eridan Ampora]] were both serial killers well before the story even started (although both [[I Did What I Had to Do|had their]] [[Horror Hunger|excuses]]). Much later, {{spoiler|[[The Stoner|Gamzee Makara]] goes [[Ax Crazy]] after a major crisis of faith and ends up killing a couple minor characters.}}
