Altar of Death. The Story of Cannibal Maniac Jeffrey Dahmer

In the summer of 1991, a panicked man, with his hands cuffed, ran out of a multi-story building and sought help from patrol officers. Trembling with fear, he led them back to the lair of his captor, where a true hell awaited. The apartment contained the remains of at least fifteen people: torsos in a huge barrel, a collection of skulls, and a whole skeleton in a dresser, with decapitated heads in the refrigerator. Polaroid photographs of mutilated bodies were affixed to the freezer. After the arrest of 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer, investigators realized they had stumbled upon a “real Hannibal Lecter”: the maniac revealed that he had preserved a human heart to eat. The bones of the victims, according to the killer's plan, were to become part of his own altar - to honor the terrible beauty of death… How did a quiet employee of a chocolate factory turn into a sadist, necrophile, and cannibal, whose crimes shocked the entire country? Psychological, horrifying, and candid, the story of Jeffrey Dahmer reveals the most extreme and dark sides of human nature.
