In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer--the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper--seared himself into the American consciousness. To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, \"Jeff\" was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMy Friend Dahmer\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 goofball who never quite fit in with his classmates. With profound insight, what emerges is a Jeffrey Dahmer that few ever really knew, and one readers will never forget. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Find teaching guides for \u003ci\u003eMy Friend Dahmer \u003c\/i\u003eand other titles at abramsbooks.com\/resources. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso available by Derf Backderf: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrashed\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKent State: Four Dead in Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derf Backderf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419702173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419702174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Comicarts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.04w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e157427 \/ My Friend Dahmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2012 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 86 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2012","brand":"Derf Backderf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133715345663,"sku":"9781419702174","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_626765f4-7607-4e9c-b244-08be469bc7a6.jpg?v=1687487796","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-friend-dahmer-derf-backderf-9781419702174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
