Jeffrey Dahmer: A Terrifying True Story of Rape, Murder & Cannibalism

The Serial Killer Books, Book 1

By: Jack Rosewood

Narrated by: David L. White

Few serial killers in history have garnered as much attention as Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer. Although Dahmer killed 17 young men and boys, it was not so much the number of people he killed that makes him stand out among famous serial killers, but more so the acts of depravity that he committed on the corpses of his victims.

In this true crime story, you will listen to how Dahmer transitioned from a loner to serial killer, committing numerous unnatural acts along the way such as necrophilia and cannibalism. Following in the macabre tradition of another infamous Wisconsin serial killer - Ed Gein - Jeffrey Dahmer terrorized Milwaukee for most of the 1980s until he was finally captured in 1991.

Perhaps one of the most frightening aspects of Jeffrey Dahmer's serial killer career was how easy he was able to lure his victims into his trap. Dahmer possessed above average intellect, was conventionally good looking, and usually had a calm demeanor that could disarm even the most paranoid of people. Because of these traits, Dahmer was able to evade justice numerous times, which allowed him to keep killing. Truly, Dahmer was able to fool his family, the police, his neighbors, and even the judicial system into believing that he was not a threat; but during the entire time his kill count increased and the body parts of his victims began to pile up around his apartment.

Purchase this audiobook to listen to a story that is among the most disturbing of all true crime serial killers. You will follow the course of Dahmer's life from an alcoholic outcast in high school to a vicious predator who stalked the streets of Milwaukee. Finally, you will hear about Dahmer's trial, his jail house murder, and the impact that his many crimes had on Milwaukee.

what you'd expect

you probably knew everything in this book but it was still a good read none the less

Well Researched

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I just love Jack Rosewood's true crime books. He has such a flowing easy style that is perfect to listen to.
Personally, I'd heard of Jeffrey Dahmer, but I hadn't known what he'd done. (As Rosewood said, anybody over the age of 30 should have heard of him, and personally, I am not over the age of 30). This was brilliantly researched, and I like how Rosewood went into the aftermath, the legacy and the effect on his family after Dahmer's death. This was very good.

Excellent Book!

Excellent book and I love the narrator, he is one of my favorites. The book was captivating and detailed but not repetitive, so it kept the story very interesting. 5 stars for sure!

A decent, concise account.

Keyword ‘concise’. I’ve listened to podcasts that are only an hour long that hold more details than this book. There were some key details missing that I feel build up the terror surrounding this murderer’s life. That said, it was a good general look at the serial killer.

True psychopath

Learned new disturbing facts about how evil and sick this serial killer really was. It should keep you listening until the end.
