Mr. Monster
- ... that in order to write his novel Mr. Monster, Dan Wells researched the offender profiling and embalming processes? Source: "I do a ton of research: in the John Cleaver books, for example, I needed a solid grasp of serial killers, criminal profiling, embalming, and so on."

- Comment: I just expanded the article, so my DYK check tool says it's still classified as a stub. I think I need another editor to come along and change this, so if someone could do that, I'd be grateful.

- Note for Cstickel(byu): DYKcheck will flag a stub if the project assessment templates on the talk page still assess it as Stub-Class. It's clearly not, so I've changed it to C-Class. Raymie (t • c) 20:30, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
