Book Overview

They smelled the foul odors. They heard the power saw buzzing in the dead of night but neighbors never imagined the horrors happening right next door.

The hot sultry night of July 22, 1991 was one the tenants of the Oxford Apartments would never forget. A panic stcricken young man--a pair of handcuffs still dangling from his wrists--ran out of Apartment 213 and told police an incredible tale of terror.

Shaking with fear, he led officers back to his captor's lair, where they made the gruesome discovery. Inside were the body parts of at least fifteen men--including torsos stuffed into a barrel, severed heads in a refrigerator, and skulls boiled clean and stashed in a filing cabinet. Tacked to the freezer were Poloroid photographs of mutilated corpses.

When investigators arrested 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer, they realized they had stumbled onto a real-life Hannibal Lecter--a sadistic murderer who told them he had saved a human heart to eat later. What could turn a handsome, former tennis player, the son of middle-class parents, into a perverse serial killer whose unthinkable acts shocked the nation?

The Jeffrey Dahmer Story takes you into Jeffrey Dahmer's twisted world of bizarre sexual encounters, mutilation and cannibalism--in one of history's most appalling true crime cases.

With 8 pages of chilling photographs.

American Nightmare

I've been a true crime fan for years, and I'm always anxious to learn more about these people and cases. I watched a documentary on Jeffrey Dahmer with dad, when I was a kid. It helped spur my interest in true crime cases. If you want to learn more about the history and crimes of this man, you should consider this book.

the boy who cryed dahmer

This is one of the quickest reads i have ever read. It grabs your attention so well and just keeps you reading. It cover some of the most disturbing material i have ever read. Dahmer is defineitly the most twisted individual since John Wayne Gacy. It even covers the fact that racism still exists when the police dont help the young boy you says dahmer did something to him. Well it just goes to show you sometimes some of the smartest and quitest indivuduals have the most to hide

Horrifying Realism of a Deranged Man

I found this book to be highly invigorating. The photos were rather poignant as was the text. It is amazing to me that a man can do such a thing and get away with it for so long. The biography of Dahmer was very interesting to read and I found myself reading until all hours of the night. Overall, the book was really good. Anybody who enjoys reading autobiographies and does not care what the subject matter is should definitely pick this book as one to read!
