I honestly don’t know how to feel about this , never really knew anything about Jeff Dahmer apart from here about the show so I really don’t know what to think right now . I don’t know what pisses me off more the “obliviousness” of the adults or the “stupidity” of the kids , I will never understand the whole never report on a fellow kid because me personally if I see something or someone acting weird I am going to say something about it because you honestly never know. Just because it’s “normal” or “common “ for kids to grow up in dysfunctional families doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least try to help. But hey what do I know 🤷🏾♀️ I wasn’t born during those times so I can’t really say anything . The drawing style also helped make this way more creepy , I might consider watching the show who knows?

Legitimately one of the creepiest things I've ever read. The art really works for the story, adding even more horror to an already horrible tale.
That being said, it also made me laugh (albeit in an uncomfortable way). Prime example: the scene where the author was dressed as Hitler and chatting to Jeffrey Dahmer. It's too surreal not to laugh, but ugh, creepfest.

A haunting, personal account of the author's interactions with Jeffrey Dahmer when they were teenagers. A+

I grew up in Ohio at the same time as Jeffrey Dahmer, in a nearby county. Not only does this book evoke what it was like to grow up in that place and time, but Backderf and his friends (even Dahmer himself) remind me of kids I hung out with. As far as I know, though, none of my classmates went on to become a serial killer.
