Here are defferences of Dexter's relationship with blood in the books and in the series

PLOT/CHARACTER ELEMENT
Dexter's relationship with blood


HOW THE BOOKS PORTRAY IT:

Dexter can't stand the sight of blood.


HOW THE SERIES PORTRAYS IT:
Dexter seems mesmerized, almost erotically entranced, by blood. However, in the season 1 episode "Shrink Wrap", he does tell the psychiatrist that he hates blood.

WHICH IS BETTER?
The Series. Being fascinated by blood makes more sense for someone who endured the type of trauma he and his brother experienced.
