Chilling and thought-provoking graphic novel written by one of Jeffrey Dahmer's high school classmates. Backderf's diligent research and wonderful drawing help give a hint of sympathy for the otherwise demonized Dahmer. In high school, admitted by Dahmer himself in a psychological interview, he had a chance of normalcy despite his odd sexual fetishes that would later turn him into a monster. Backderf does sort of 'explain away' any responsibility from himself or the other 'kids' who knew Dahmer and noticed some odd behaviour that could have been reported. Instead he places a blame strictly on the many adults who could and in Backderf's opinion should have noticed something was wrong with Dahmer.
