About this listen
Raising a serial killer
A Father's search for answers
In July of 1991, the country was shocked by the unfathomable crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. But no one was more shocked than his parents. In A Father's Story, the listener becomes witness to the incremental unraveling of a parent's image of their child, and the thousand different reactions that follow. In his attempt to understand the nature of his son's psychosis, Lionel Dahmer methodically scrutinizes every possible contributing factor to his son's madness. His desperation is palpable as he searches for clues in the emotional, psychological, and genetic landscape of his son's life.
Riveting and soul-wrenching, this unprecedented memoir is the confession of a father who must confront the saddest truth a human can know—that his child has somehow crossed the line that separates the human from the monstrous.
Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Really enjoyed
I enjoyed hearing from the parents POV on a topic like this. It was very brave & bold for Lionel to tell his side of things, and learn more regarding the nature vs nurture aspect. A really great listen

different point of view!
we always great about the killer.... it's nice to hear just how much there actions affect there family and how they are just as much victims as the victims themselves.

Heartbreaking
Very well written and narrated introspective. A heartbreaking examination of his life with Jeff and what may have lead Jeff to commit the crimes that he ultimately committed. Lionel’s pain and anguish over the choices Jeff ultimately made is palpable.
