Hell, just dust them with arsenic powder. You could pretend you're Harriet Vane.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay Adam spilled the beans at the FF board so I can say it:
He's gonna be on The Inside.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Maybe their Krispy Kreme poison can be slow working
And here I thought Flowers in the Attic had been successfully scrubbed from my brain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Woo! ADAM!! Wooooo!!!

If I only had a brain...
Is the longer time to apprehension related to a longer span between crimes? It seems like it would take longer to court, marry, kill, rinse, repeat than it would to just kill all the nurses in the Philadelphia area or something.
Excellent point. Same goes with have baby/murder baby, which, for obvious reasons, has a minimal 9-month time requirement.
Is it technically serial killing if you murder, say, 6 husbands? What's the def of serial killing?

Guh, Boston Creme Donuts.
Sorry, temporarily derailed by the thought of yummy goodness.
I have to say, I'm a little worried by this premise, not because I don't think Tim can do a good job, but because it sounds so grim and depressing. I mean, the characters can't be jolly, although they probably indulge in black humor, and the weekly plots will all involve grisly death of one form or another. Yeah, yeah, I loved H:LotS too, but I can't watch CSI: NYC or L&O: SVU.
Where's the dividing line between "engrossing but grim" and "too dark to watch"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the def of serial killing?
More than two, extended period of time, reverting to normal behaviour inbetween.
