If one of the things you love the most about Dexter is the trophy collection portion of his modus operandi, then you will love these Dexter drink coasters which emulate the serial killer’s act of keeping a drop of each of his victims’ blood between two transparent slides.
The Dexter coasters come in a wooden box with a slotted interior to display each coaster - much like Dexter’s bloody trophy case.
