The Altar of Death. The Story of Cannibal Killer Jeffrey Dahmer

In the summer of 1991, a panicked man, with his hands handcuffed, ran out of an apartment building and sought help from patrol officers. Trembling with fear, he led them back to the lair of his captor, where a true... hell awaited. The apartment housed the remains of no less than fifteen people: corpses in a huge barrel, a collection of skulls, and a whole skeleton in a dresser, with severed heads in the refrigerator. Polaroid photographs of mutilated bodies were attached to the freezer. After the arrest of 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer, investigators realized they had stumbled upon a "real Hannibal Lecter": the maniac revealed that he had preserved a human heart to eat. The bones of his victims were meant to become part of his own altar – to honor the terrible beauty of death… How did a quiet employee of a chocolate factory turn into a sadist, necrophile, and cannibal, whose crimes shocked the entire country? The psychological, horrifying, and candid story of Jeffrey Dahmer reveals the most extreme and dark sides of human nature.
