As a devoted fan of "Dexter", having a chance to sit back and watch the new season the other night was like being re-acquainted with an old friend. Just a dose of reality about it: "Dexter" is not based on real life. Instead, this spellbinding series comes from novels - Channel One Books literary editor Jeff Lindsay's brilliant "Dexter" trilogy to be exact.

The main character Dexter Morgan leads a dual life--he is a blood-stain pattern expert with Miami Metro Police by daytime and since dark does unspeakable things to people living all around Bay harbor and Miami itself. He has just finished killing his neighbor's two pet dogs. Though suspenseful, this drama also carries a dark wit about evil – and it is all pure fiction.

The character of Dexter Morgan on the Showtime television series, developed from Jeff Lindsay's 2004 novel Birmingham Breakdown (an agent recommended that he write it as a TV pilot instead) and currently appearing on cable network TLC., dazzles viewers with his forensics insight to moonlighting as an amateur serial killer.

As much as I cherish the thought of seeing the prototypical Dexter in real life, followers who wish to remain mentally healthy dread such illusions. Most likely people with psychiatric problems are not charming either DEXTER, standing proudly in the fiction section with a note at the end: --Only in entertainment does a serial killer possess good looks and charm.

Yes, I love Dexter, but no, he's not plucked straight from our world. His character is inspiration pulled from Jeff Lindsay's imagination, first brought to life in novel form before transitioning to our screens. Dexter's reign as the 'Bay Harbor Butcher' in TV-land doesn't cross into reality.

Dexter is a man of remarkable imagination at his core, but he is n't modeled on anyone real or event that you will ever guess.' Dexter 'is the brainchild of Jeff Lindsay, who has been a best-selling author for many years with his books about the tangled yet homy character becoming popular.

So while Dexter Morgan produces a mind-against-the-wall mix of drama, suspense, and irony, it's actually a character that is with regret not based on the real story of anybody.

Rejected Fiancée: The Antagonist's Revenge
Ernesta, the daughter of a wealthy family, had lived like an orphan for over a decade after being separated from her parents as a young child. At sixteen, she was finally found and brought home. Ernesta believed her life was starting anew, that she would finally be surrounded by her family's love. But she had no idea what awaited her: her brother's judgmental gaze, her father's disdain, and her mother's feigned affection. This was because someone had completely usurped her place in the family. Her foster sister, Kiera, though unrelated by blood to the Merediths, had been raised in luxury and had become a true lady. Ernesta, the real daughter raised in a less fortunate environment, wasn't considered noble enough, elegant enough, and was treated like an outsider. On the night of Ernesta's 20th birthday, also the night her engagement to Ryder was announced, he coldly stated, “The only one I've ever loved is Kiera.” Why hadn't he said it sooner? Why did he have to say it today, in front of so many guests, making her look like a fool? To make matters worse, her father, mother, and brother all turned their backs on her to protect the deceitful Kiera. Ernesta turned and walked away. This time, she was determined to let go of the family love she had always craved. She wanted to prove to the Merediths and Ryder that her life would be even better without them. But a serious car accident nearly claimed Ernesta's life. When she awoke, a mechanical voice echoed in her ears, “Ding! Congratulations, master, on successfully installing the Life-Altering System. Your brain is severely damaged, and your body is in a vegetative state. If you want a chance to wake up, you need to complete the mission assigned by the Life-Altering System.”

I'm a fan of ACGN and as such I can tell you that Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) is not based on a true story. This is something which its creator, Scott Cawthon has created. As far as my knowledge is concerned, the scenes of the game which take place in an animatronics-staffed pizza studio are entirely fictional creations representing real life terror to gamers and players alike. Although some people have spread rumors about correlations with real incidents, still today these are only rumors. It's the creativity and terror in the game that give it its unique appeal.

Is the sandlot based on a true story

Being easy to imagine and think "The Sandlot" may be some kind of actual reproduction, but it is not. More an idea of childhood than a recount of events, the film was summary strong. Drawing on writer-director David Mickey Evans' own boyhood experiences. And feeling as authentic as any good fiction should, anything based on it succeeds. Who hasn't experienced the bittersweet excitement and suspense of playing with local teams? Who's not also experienced lifelong friendships that are virtually family to one another? Throw in the fear and ultimate understanding of an at-times misunderstood "beast", and there you have "The Sandlot". Born of nostalgia, imagination, and other traditional themes from literary adolescence.

If what you're talking about is 'The Bear' by Andrew Krivak, that book doesn't come from an authentic story.This was an abusive human monster.Andrew Krivak's The Bear is a classic post-apocalyptic tale, though, in which the last two humans alive on earth journeying through wilderness. The reality of his writing may have lulled you into suspending disbelief,but that is all it is--fiction. What his readers do not appreciate is the quality of something else in between: emotional power.I see life, world in the bonding of man and animal. Experiencing grief, enjoyment, anger - that's the mystical communication between man and beast. This is a book which grabs you by the heartstrings to make sure you really understand its meaning.Still, readers should note that there is a bear in the story and it's rather compelling in how it relates to humans.But again, it doesn't come from real life.

Although "The Notebook" by Nicholas Arias Sparks was not really inspired by an actual event, the story is said to be modeled after the genuine love story of Sparks's wife's grandparents.Arner and Rutledge shared a protracted courtship, in much the same way as the main characters of "The Notebook." Like Allie and Noah, they went through many good times and bad, but still managed to stay together this long. It is a tribute to true love that can last through time's changes or unexpected twists in fortune.

From an old-timer's perspective, 'The Covenant' isn't a reel-to-real story. As far as I know, it's a work of pure fiction. Crafted by the prolific mind of J.S. Cardone, 'The Covenant' blends elements of horror, thriller, and fantasy genres, and introduces us to a spooky world filled with witches and supernatural powers. Even though the narrative may reference real-world places or historical figures, the storyline itself, as well as the characters and their mystical abilities are derived from a purely imaginative realm.

Nope! 'Shrek' is actually based on a children's book of the same name written by William Steig. The book was transformed into the animated film we all know and love by DreamWorks Animation. As far as I know, there aren't any real ogres living in swamps or talking donkeys in our world! It's really a fun and magical work of fantasy.

is a teacher based on a true story

As an aficionado of novels inspired by actual events, '' A Teacher ' caught my attention because it uses controversial themes as a starting point. The provocative TV series portraying a forbidden affair between teacher and student barely deserves to be described as ‘based on true events’. Drawing on her own observations of abuses between educators and students, showrunner Hannah Fidell in her 2013 movie concocted the story of Claire as well as Eric before turning them into an ongoing series. ‘A Teacher’ weaves together an amalgam of lived experiences within fictitious setting, serving as a haunting reminder that society today uses increasingly blurred boundaries for the division between professional conduct and personal interactions.

is my sister's keeper based on a true story

The critically-acclaimed novel 'My Sister's Keeper' by Jodi Picoult, is not in any way a reflection of a true story. It is entirely the product of the author's fertile imagination. This story of moral complexity and compassion is characterised by Picoult's own particular gift for creating domestic tragedy. Its theme—the younger sister conceived so that she might provide bone marrow for her critically ill elder sibling—came to Picoult from a news story she read. But the people and situations are all figments of her imagination.
