Farrier replies: “It’s so odd because it’s almost like a child’s drawing and yet it’s about something so incredibly... I mean this is like True Detective or something right, but beyond." Perfect for fans of Making a Murderer, Mindhunter and The Ted Bundy Tapes, this is a gripping and gruesome read that delves into the mind of a murder and what possesses someone to kill. The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer offers a chilling insight into the mind of a serial killer and reveals the horrors within. Jeffrey Dahmer , who was known as the "Milwaukee Monster" or "Milwaukee Cannibal", murdered, dismembered and then ate 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991. Presenter David Farrier says of the city of Milwaukee: "It's famous for beer and cheese, and a serial killer."

Bizarre connections to the ancient Roman deity Dionysus, the American Indian legendary creatures known as wendigos, and other ancient mythos that, while interesting on its own, seemed out of place here. But if anything could be more disturbing than the brute horror of this scene, it was the evidence that Dahmer had been using these human remains not only for sexual gratification, but as part of a dark ritual of his own devising — to furnish a shrine to himself.Now a new Netflix series 'Dark Tourist', looks at the attraction that brings people who have an interest with places associated with death and tragedy, News.com.au reports.

Irresistible. . . . It’s subject is terrible and repellent. But the study itself is enlightening’ Independent After leaving the room, Farrier asks Natalie “How was that for you?" to which she expresses her delight and appreciation for it Someone posted free PDF’s to all major books about Dahmer including A Fathers Story, Grilling Dahmer, The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer, My Friend Dahmer, Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders, and others as well as transcripts of his confession and a transcript of a 1992 interview.

Farrier added: “As someone who’s never killed anyone, or made a trophy room full of skulls, it’s kind of fascinating getting inside the mind of someone who has. When he was arrested in July 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer had a severed head in the refrigerator, two more in the freezer, two skulls and a skeleton in a filing cabinet.

She speaks about why she finds his story so fascinating and said: "There’s never been a case quite like his, where there were lobotomies, attempts to turn people into zombies, cannibalism, all of this in one.

Then there’s the focus on the “shrine”. All that talk about Dionysus and wendigos was meant to give context to the bizarre, ritualistic, quasi-religious nature of Dahmer’s modus operandi. By now everyone familiar with the case knows about the “shrine” he was building, complete with griffin statues standing guard and flashing lights (?). The average onlooker would assume the altar was nothing more than a byproduct of mental illness, yet another sign of the insanity. But Masters bulks it up, ascribing the attributes of our primitive pagan ancestors to a primal killer’s instincts. And that’s fine – it makes sense, I suppose. Dahmer doesn’t know why he did it or where the idea came from, so Masters is putting his own spin on it, drawing his own conclusions. Everyone is going to see this case through their own filters anyway.

Various body parts were found in his flat, which included three heads that had been preserved in a fridge. She said: “He saved the entire bodies of these two on the end... he had a thing for hands, he’d save the hands a lot of times and obviously the penis." I think that’s why people like me and Natalie are drawn to this stuff, it’s like taking a weird holiday." Most ReadComparisons between Dahmer and other serial killers, particularly Dennis Nilsen, that I found interesting initially but soon grew weary of. Over the years Dahmer has brought a bizarre cult and Farrier meets with one fanatic - a self-titled "dark tourist" - called Natalie. Jeffrey Dahmer sketches: Childlike drawings of serial killer dubbed 'Milwaukee Cannibal' reveal unimaginable horror Irresistible. . . . It's subject is terrible and repellent. But the study itself is enlightening' Independent The Englishman Masters is an intellectual with opinions on everything. I really wish I could say that I’ve read at least one biography that didn’t suffer from the author’s bias/opinionated commentary, but that’s simply not the case. No one would want to read just the cold, hard facts. Plus, the mere exercise would be paradoxical – the arrangement of words in a sentence can change the meaning entirely, and depending on where and how much information you give, the reader’s impressions will be entirely different.
