On his website, Wells wrote that settling on the idea of writing a horror novel felt "like coming home". For the supernatural aspect, Wells read selections from the genre to confirm the originality of his idea. A mortician later complimented Wells on the accuracy of his depiction of the mortuary. He has said that the procedure described in Serial Killer is purposefully "a couple of years behind the times", because the characters run "a very small operation in a very small town". Wells was unable to observe the process in person, but found plenty of information about embalming on his own. He used this knowledge, combining it with extensive research on mortuaries and the embalming process, to write the novel. Prior to writing Serial Killer, author Dan Wells had been fascinated with serial killers and serial killer predictors for years. Reception of the novel was mostly positive. It follows teenage sociopath John Wayne Cleaver as he seeks to expose a serial killer that has come to his midwestern hometown. Wells wrote the novel using his own prior knowledge of serial killers. It is followed by five books, and has been published in English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian. It is Wells' debut novel and the first installment in the John Cleaver series.
