Would you read a book about a mass-murderer?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:First of all, I don’t believe Dahmer was a mass murderer. A serial killer, certainly, but he killed one at a time. Semantics, I know, but I thought I’d point it out. As for your question, I’d absolutely read it. The more graphic the better. Any non-fiction book that shocks me is entertaining enough to read. My mom is reading this book written by a man in prison about his crimes – he even goes into detail on raping and killing children. Reading it doesn’t mean you get off on such a thing, but it’s undeniably an interesting read. Dahmer always fascinated me. Gayce too. I’d read any book about them, provided it’s well written. People read gory murder books all the time. Does the fact that it’s a true story make it more sick to read it? Nah.
