In July 1991, the country was shocked by the unfathomable crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Every day the world learned more and more dirty and terrible details of his murders: the dismemberment of young people, lobotomies, necrophilia, cannibalism, and even skulls stored on a makeshift altar in the apartment... But no one was more shocked than Jeffrey Dahmer's own parents - a loving father , a stepmother and grandmother who spent years trying to help him stay on track. In his tell-all book, Lionel Dahmer describes how Jeff's weirdness gradually developed into a full-blown murderous obsession and examines what he did wrong as a father. Lionel wonders why his son grew up to be a monster. How did it happen that a person whom he, in fact, did not know at all lived and grew up in the house with him? This is the memoir that formed the basis of the Netflix film Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story - a unique look at the maniac's madness through the eyes of his family; a heartbreaking testament to how inhumane horror can lurk just around the corner."Lionel Dahmer, father of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, has written one of the most daring books ever written about serial murder." - Kirkus Review "Jeffrey Dahmer's kind and noble father, Lionel, shares his memoirs of trying to come to terms with his son's nature as a mass murderer, necrophiliac and cannibal." – Literary Review “What makes Lionel Dahmer’s storytelling so compelling is that in his memoirs he attempts to peer not only into his son’s soul, but into his own.” – The New York TimesThe publisher's design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
