My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf
dark
tense
fast-paced
3.75
Not as sensationalized and out of touch as literally any other true crime story. I appreciate that Backderf only explicitly shows or mentions the murders like 2 or 3 times. It's a lot more tasteful and respectful to the victims and their families than portraying in detail the brutal murder and torture of gay men of colour, unlike other books and shows about Dahmer.
Graphic: Ableism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Alcohol
Moderate: Blood and Toxic friendship
Minor: Homophobia, Suicide, Vomit, and Cannibalism
