“Dahmer was as manipulative and calculating as the other killers we've covered in this book, demonstrating a keen understanding of how to evade capture the vast majority of his victims were Black men, not because Dahmer was exclusively attracted to the them but because he knew that police were much less likely to investigate their disappearances. In this, he was absolutely correct, harkening back to the "less dead" theory we discussed in Gacy's case. When you add gay and poor to that victim profile as many of Dahmer's victims were, you've got the perfect trifecta of investigative apathy.”
Marcus Parks, The Last Book On The Left: Stories of Murder and Mayhem from History's Most Notorious Serial Killers

“Learning how to be a human to be human by attending a frat is alike learning how to ride a horse by going to a Tijuana donkey show.”
Ben Kissel, The Last Book On The Left: Stories of Murder and Mayhem from History's Most Notorious Serial Killers
