Murder for the Company. The Story of Serial Killer Dennis Nilsen

In February 1983, the residents of a London house on Muswell Hill experienced a sewage blockage. A plumber who came to investigate discovered a horrifying find in the basement – a mess of human flesh and bones. The next day, one of the residents named Dennis Nilsen was arrested on suspicion of murder. Are we talking about one body or two? – the police officer asked him. – Fifteen or sixteen, starting from 1978. I will tell you everything. You can't imagine how great it is to talk to someone about this, – Nilsen replied. It is extremely rare for a killer to speak so honestly and exhaustively about himself: his archive is an unprecedented document in the history of criminal murders, so detailed, full of dark fantasies and shocking details. The unique material underlying the book – over 50 volumes of personal diaries, poems, and drawings – reveals the mindset of a maniac, allowing him to express himself in the first person. Incredibly psychological and shocking, the book delves into the inner world of a killer who, together with the writer, tries to understand what led him to the point of no return.
