Cannibal killers

This study looks at cannibalism as a human behaviour by examining the crimes of several known consumers of human flesh. Its three main subjects are Armin Meiwes, who met his victim through the internet and who, in his own telling, was the first offender to eat someone who had agreed to be killed. The book also profiles Jeffrey Dahmer, whose murders were fuelled by a fascination with zombies and a necrophilic compulsion, and who killed over a span of thirteen years. The final case concerns Issei Sagawa, a Japanese student whose account is only partly given in this description.
