They heard the power saw buzzing in the dead of night but neighbors never imagined the horrors happening right next door. The hot sultry night of July 22, 1991 was one the tenants of the Oxford Apartments would never forget. A panic stcricken young man--a pair of handcuffs still dangling from his wrists--ran out of Apartment 213 and told police an incredible tale of terror. Shaking with fear, he led officers back to his captor's lair, where they made the gruesome discovery. Inside were the body parts of at least fifteen men--including torsos stuffed into a barrel, severed heads in a refrigerator, and skulls boiled clean and stashed in a filing cabinet. Tacked to the freezer were Poloroid photographs of mutilated corpses. When investigators arrested 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer, they realized they had stumbled onto a "real-life Hannibal Lecter"--a sadistic murderer who told them he had saved a human heart "to eat later". What could turn a handsome, former tennis player, the son of middle-class parents, into a perverse serial killer whose unthinkable acts shocked the nation? The Jeffrey Dahmer Story takes you into Jeffrey Dahmer's twisted world of bizarre sexual encounters, mutilation and cannibalism--in one of history's most appalling true crime cases. With 8 pages of chilling photographs. Review: Great Read - Great Read Review: Good depiction of Jeffrey Dahmer - I found this book to be very interesting! I learned a lot of information that I didn't know before hand... Really the only flaw I had with this book in the constant time change! Meaning first you read about 1991 and than about 1978 and then right back to 1991! Like I said first the information was wonderfully written, which helps move the book along so quickly. I found the information about Konerak Sinthasomphone to be very repetitive! It of course makes you feel terrible about how the police didn't even want to bother with him. In my copy of this book it has photos in the middle of Konerak and I cannot understand how police officer that work with people everyday can look at that CHILD and think he was an of age adult!!! That is a pure outrage... The information about the suspension of the officer involved was very good; I just wish that they didn't get their jobs back... because they most defiantly did not deserve them! I enjoyed reading ch. 21 "Fault Lines" very much! I found the Q & A's with Ashok Bedi to be very intriguing and was a good depiction of the subject Jeffrey Dahmer. For being the first real study into Jeffrey Dahmer, I found this book to be very good in letting the reader know all information needed to understand Dahmer in Childhood, Adulthood, general Life and Death. One of the best parts of this book is Dahmer; statement on his final day of the three week trail... " I knew I was sick or evil or both." ## Features - St. Martins True Crime Classics ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #761,116 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,037 in Serial Killers True Accounts #2,103 in Murder & Mayhem True Accounts #7,911 in U.S. State & Local History | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 532 Reviews | ## Images ![The Jeffrey Dahmer Story: An American Nightmare - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91reWjcKwcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read *by X***X on March 11, 2026* Great Read ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good depiction of Jeffrey Dahmer *by C***E on May 11, 2004* I found this book to be very interesting!

I particularly like the Q & A toward the end, describing exactly what kind of person Dahmer was. Some of the background info was long and boring, like the histories of the towns. Who cares?
