The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer
An extraordinary analysis into the mind of a notorious killer which set the standard in true crime writing
________________________________________
AN UNSPEAKABLE CRIME
When he was arrested in July 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer had a severed head in the refrigerator, two more in the freezer, two skulls, and a skeleton in a filing cabinet.
A DEPRIVED ACT
But if anything could be more disturbing than the brute horror of this scene, it was the evidence that Dahmer had been using these human remains not only for sexual gratification, but as part of a dark ritual of his own devising β to furnish a shrine to himself.
A KILLER, BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING
