Now in an economical pocket format with a soft cover!

In July 1991, the country was shaken by the incomprehensible crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. With each passing day, the world learned more sordid and horrifying details of his killings: dismemberment of young people, lobotomy, necrophilia, cannibalism, and even skulls kept on a makeshift altar in his apartment... But no one was more shocked than the parents of Jeffrey Dahmer — loving father, stepmother, and grandmother who had tried for years to help him not hit rock bottom.
In his candid book, Lionel Dahmer describes how Jeffrey's oddities gradually turned into a full-blown obsession with murder and analyzes what he, as a father, did wrong. Lionel questions why his son grew into a monster. How did it happen that a person he essentially did not know shared the house with him as he grew up? This memoir served as the basis for the Netflix adaptation "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" — a unique look at a man's madness through the eyes of his loved ones; a heartbreaking testament that inhumane horror can lurk very close to you.
