About this deal

A lot of people read true crime to learn what red flags to They would have known that Konerak was only 14 years old and saw the decomposing corpse of one of his victims laying on the floor of his bedroom! He is similar to Dennis Nilsen he was also a necrophile, that murdered men due to being extremely lonely. After his trial/convictions for at least 15 of his 17 murders, he was in solitary confinement for his own safety due to be intensely hated by other inmates/convicts in the prison. This section of the book, or in any film or series about Jeffrey Dahmer always infuriates me, it's really pisses me off, I can't even imagine what the family members of the victims felt/still feel now about this now. I can't even imagine, the pain, anger, disgust or feeling of injustice the family members or friends of the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer must of felt at the time, or still feel now.

Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer: The Cannibal Killer

A child would retreat into their own fantasy land, their own private world where they feel safe, so I can understand how overtime, the more a child is spending in their fantasy world in their mind, the more detached from reality they become, until it develops into delusions, mental illness. How did he ever expect Jeff to fully open up about anything when Lionel stated the fact that Jeff being gay was repugnant? HOW HE INCORRECTLY NAMED THE UNABOMBER AS "RICHARD KUKLINSKI" - if you're going to write a book on serial killers, at least get their names correct. The unabomber is Ted Kaczynski.I hope all the victims’ families have healed and I hope that people who are parents will start taking the time to be with their kids spending quality time and teaching them how to be good people. I don’t condone what he did but I don’t consider him a monster either just a misunderstood person who had parents that were self-centered and not worthy to be parents of Jeff or any child. As if that wasn't bad enough, Lionel waited until Jeffrey had been incarcerated for 15 murders (2 not accounted for in charges) before he admitted that he had also had disturbing and destructive behaviour related thoughts throughout his life! It begs belief! Furthermore, Jeff had started to consume alcohol and by 14 he was an alcoholic. The school, obviously concerned about Jeff turning up drunk and failing classes, informed Lionel. Most parents I know would have been absolutely livid, but Lionel just decided to have 'a talk' with Jeff, which as a typical teen, he ignored. At this time Lionel claimed that Jeff was already 'too addicted' so it didn't work. I feel that this was a lie to try and cover for the fact that Lionel didn't actually try to help Jeff. I also liked how there was a chapter for each of the victims and also in the appendix there were the charges in more detail for each victim too. Far too often when reading or watching documentaries about serial killers their victims are glossed over and forgotten while their killer’s name is remembered. Unlike previous studies, the researchers used only incarcerated criminals and eliminated any brains with mental illnesses or traumatic brain injuries.

It seems pretty clear to me that Joyce had some form of mental health condition and most likely post partum depression. Not only did Jeff have to grow up with a manic and irrational mother, but he also witnessed numerous arguments and physical violence between his parents. It is believed that the violence didn't just stay between the parents as in Joyce's diary she recorded that she patted Jeff on the bottom twice at 9 months old for discipline reasons. How was this never questioned? What on earth could a 9 month old baby have done to deserve that punishment?

His methodology, reasons for what he did & why he did it, his state of mind, the dark, violent fantasies he had since he was a child will always disturb, disgust & fascinate me. If you suspect something is wrong with your child, why wouldn't you talk to them or ask if they are okay? His brother David has never publicly talked about his brother Jeffrey Dahmer, he doesn't want to be associated with him and the horrific, disgusting, disturbing crimes he committed. One of the many reasons I enjoyed this book was the Hannibal lector quotes; "bowels in or bowels out?" and "I must confess to you, I am giving very serious thought to eating your wife inspector pazzi." I love Hannibal and have a tattoo based on the silence of the lambs 😊

Once he was taken into custody, Dahmer waived his rights to a lawyer and confessed to 17 murders in detail. He even admitted to being sexual gratified by several of the killings and subsequent acts, something the Netflix series spends much of its time highlighting. He became a alcoholic at 14 years old he was already feeling severe depression and anxiety as a teenager, when he was 15-16 years old and becoming fascinated/obsessed with death, dissecting roadkill/animals, doing experiments on animals/dissecting them.Are there better books out there on Dahmer? Yes. But once I got past the prologue, which is annoying, the author does focus on Dahmer. I enjoyed reading the counts and charges against him. I am in the outlier camp because I enjoyed (if that is the right word) this book. Yes, the prologue is a bit much it will rub many readers the wrong way. I wonder if some stopped reading there. I could see how one might want to put the book down at that point. I read on an I found the book to be interesting. At the same time, his victims never had a chance. He got away with killing for so long because of the inherent bias and systemic racism embodied by people of authority. his summary was initially mostly about OTHER serial killers. His ending paragraph was not words of his own, but of Ted Bundy's His father was also, shy, bullied/tormented and had the intention/desire to start fires and hurt people that tormented him, so in my opinion both his parents contributed to Jeffrey Dahmer becoming the "Milwaukee Cannibal"
