Few serial killers in history have garnered as much attention as Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Although Dahmer killed seventeen young men and boys, it was not so much the number of people he killed that makes him stand out among famous serial killers, but more so the acts of depravity that he committed on the corpses of his victims. In this true crime story you will read how Dahmer transitioned from a loner to serial killer, committing numerous unnatural acts along the way such as necrophilia and cannibalism. Following in the macabre tradition of another infamous Wisconsin serial killer--Ed Gein--Jeffrey Dahmer terrorized Milwaukee for most of the 1980s until he was finally captured in 1991. Perhaps one of the most frightening aspects of Jeffrey Dahmer's serial killer career was how easy he was able to lure his victims into his trap. Dahmer possessed above average intellect, was conventionally good looking, and usually had a calm demeanor that could disarm even the most paranoid of people. Because of these traits, Dahmer was able to evade justice numerous times, which allowed him to keep killing. Truly, Dahmer was able to fool his family, the police, his neighbors, and even the judicial system into believing that he was not a threat; but during the entire time his kill count increased and the body parts of his victims began to pile up around his apartment. Open the pages of this book to read a story that is among the most disturbing of all true crime serial killers. You will follow the course of Dahmer's life from an alcoholic outcast in high school to a vicious predator who stalked the streets of Milwaukee. Finally, you will read about Dahmer's trial, his jail house murder, and the impact that his many crimes had on Milwaukee.… (mais)

This book is definitely not for the faint of heart especially if you can't handle reading about a people that have molested children, drugged and raped young men and young boys, butched/cannibalized their corpses or graphic depictions of animal dissection, torture, mutilation of animals and people.

Trigger Warning: animal abuse, dissection of animals, graphic description of the drugging, rape, butchering/mutilation of corpses of men & young boys corpses, cannibalization of their corpses.
I have a dark & vivid imagination so it made me feel physically sick to read exactly what he did to his victims.
The way this book is written, it like the author has never heard of the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and the way he simplifies the horrific crimes he committed as if any normal and intelligent human being wouldn't understand it's annoying and the author repeats himself a lot.

It is clear from a young age that Jeffrey Dahmer was obsessed/fascinated by death, dissecting animals he wasn't going to grow up and become a normal person in society, he clearly had issues, with "fitting in" socialising, bullying and due to his morbid interests including collecting roadkill, dissecting animals that his interest in "seeing the insides and how it works" had a darker meaning. He had dark fantasies from a young age, due to spending a lot of time isolated or alone, he was left to his own devices and over time he developed, very dark, disturbing fantasies.
From a young age Jeffrey Dahmer was always fascinated by dead animals roadkill, dissection of animals,is father taught him how to bleach or "clean bones" He took home a piglet's head and dissolved the flesh in acid so he could keep the skull.
He dissected a pig at school which he kept and took home, he collected roadkill and took it home to dissect it, he put a dead cat in acid to see what would happen.
His father was a scientist so he taught him about animal dissection and bleaching bones in formaldehyde.
These were skills he would later use to his advantage on his 17 victims which included (13-14 year old boys) that he molested or drugged and raped.

His M.O. (Modus Operandi or his motive for killing) was control/lust, he was a sexually motivated serial killer & he wanted to lure, control, own, use, possess and consume his victims "so they would be apart of him forever" He placed the severed heads/skulls of his victims on his shrine. He practiced witchcraft.
Jeffrey Dahmer was a gay man (which his dad would condemn and hate him for, he would expect him to do conversion therapy) he tried to appear as normal and ordinary as possible, but he was very similar in behaviour to Ted Bundy, he was manipulative and he used it to his advantage many times to get himself out of trouble.
Jeffrey was very charming, very shy, reserved, mild mannered, anti-social loner, he was good at luring people into a false sense of security before drugging his victims, raping them while they were unconscious, removing their skin, muscles from the bones, then smashing the bones to a powdery dust, flushing it down the toilet or scattered in the woods behind his house where he lived with his family.
He decapitated his victims and kept the genitals in his fridge/refrigerator till he eventually literally ran out of space, but he would consume the heart of other body parts of his victims, his favourites were the biceps, heart, head and genitals.
Jeffrey usually went to gay bars or bath houses until he was kicked out and banned from going to the bathhouses he would frequently go to a gay bar on the prowl for his victims.
Some of his victims were possibly male prostitutes that were underage, some were not gay or only decided to go back to Jeffrey's house because he "offered to pay them for a nude photoshoot" which was a ruse and never happened.
Some of his victims were in financial strife so they interested in going with Jeffrey because they needed the money.
Jeffrey Dahmer was a sexually motivated, predatory, necrophile (they have the sexual attraction & desire to have sexwith a corpse and to also consume their flesh and blood), he was a cannibal hence the moniker "The Milwaukee Cannibal"

There were a multitude of things that made Jeffrey Dahmer became who he was, positive and negative influences, his parents were both a narcissist, neglectful, too wrapped up in their own world to even notice Jeffrey Dahmer and his brother David.
A dysfunctional household, a parent that is emotionally & mentally unstable, frequent violent arguments, his father had the intention to start fire and hurt people that bullied him because he was shy.
It's not hard to understand why he grew up the way he did, his upbringing affected him negatively, if he had friends, or his parents spent time with him, he probably would have grown up different to who he became, but I still think he would have had dark, disturbing fantasies.
Jeffrey Dahmer was tried in court, found sane and fit to stand trial, convicted of his crimes and he was sent to prison, where he was later murdered.
He was murdered due to the shrine of his victim's severed heads/skulls he had in his apartment, for making his food look like his victims, he did have a grotesque and cruel sense of humour.
The other prisoners were obviously aware of his crimes, they were disgusted and disturbed by him and his crimes. ( )

This is the second book I've read by Jack Rosewood and I'm digging his style; it's informative, organized, and well written. All you need to know about Jeffrey Dahmer's nefarious legacy. ( )

Rosewood offers a short yet detailed discussion of the horrific acts committed by Jeffrey Dahmer before he was arrested for the murder of more than 15 people in 1992. Rosewood not only explores the details of the crimes but potential reasons why Dahmer became a serial killer and what went wrong when he was a child that may have caused him to be so. Rosewood's discussion is critical in that he balances his discussion of the crimes with empathy not only for the victims families but, for Dahmer's family as well. Overall this book is well written. Rosewood is a true crime writer to watch in the future. ( )

This is the first book I have read on Jeffrey Dahmer, and I enjoyed it. It was a straight-forward story, telling what he did, the motives, and most of the heinous details, but not the fluff. Just the facts and the details. I found it very interesting and cleared up some misconceptions I had about Dahmer. I thought that this book was well-written, easy to read, and hard to put down! I really liked it. ( )
