Sure, they were school friends, but everyone has their own problems, especially in high school, and you cannot expect that a teenager will somehow know that Dahmer had really bad problems. He also says in the preface that he did a lot of research for this because he wanted to make sure it was as truthful as possible (there are notes at the end of the book that explain where he got the info for each event).Īlso, I don't think it was the author's responsibility to take care of Dahmer. Dahmer died in 1994 so I think if he wanted fame, he wouldn't have waited that many years to publish it. The short version was published in 2002 and this version (the longer one) was published in 2012. D …more I don't think he was using Dahmer to get publicity. Tina I don't think he was using Dahmer to get publicity.
