Synopsis
In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original graphic novel, writer-artist Backderf creates a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed young man struggling against the morbid urges emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche, a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic and a goof‑ball who never quite fit in. With profound insight, what emerges is a Jeffrey Dahmer that few ever really knew and one readers will never forget.
