It was a quiet late afternoon as I stepped out onto the front porch and felt the cool breeze of the fall wind; it was a perfect time of day to take a walk. Hurrying across the porch and down the steps I inserted my ear buds into my ears, pressed play on the music app, and tucked my phone into my sweatshirt front pocket. I listened to the voice of Adam Lambert singing ‘Time for Miracles’ as I strolled to the end of the driveway. Upon reaching it I took a right, which was my normal route whenever I went for a walk. I walked for about thirty minutes when I realized that I was no longer on a street that I recognized. Shutting my music off, I spun around several times to view my surroundings, but nothing was familiar to me. I did not recall taking …show more content…
He turned and looked at me in terror. Who would think a man who seemed to have no fear when it came to luring in young men and killing them would be so uneasy in a social setting. Yet, I had compassion for him knowing his childhood was to him a rough path. “Please, come sit down with the others. Tonight there will be no judging based on character.” I said as I reached out my hand to show I was not afraid. After a moment of scanning the others in the room and then myself, he took my hand and together we walked over to the farmers’ table and sat down. He sat next to Kelley and I next to him. I reached for a large pitcher of ice water and poured us both a glass. “Would you care to join us?” Prince Poppycock said to the Kid and Lovecraft. “Don’t mind if we do.” said the Kid as he made his way over to the table and sat next to Anne with Lovecraft right behind …show more content…
My idea of decorating is NOT cute black cats and ghosts holding hands in a circle, I prefer graveyards and 6 foot animated horror story characters with smoke weighed down by dry ice to give it that eerie feeling. Body parts left in puddles of blood and insane asylum characters screaming at the top of their lungs. This is why H.P. Lovecraft, Anne Rice, and Kelley Armstrong are present. All 3 incorporated the supernatural in their writings. H.P. Lovecraft, the father of modern horror, combined supernatural horror with imaginative theories of Science fiction. Anne Rice, the gothic writer, whose Vampire series focuses on the lifestyles and beliefs of several unusual vampires. Kelley Armstrong whose, otherworld series concentrates on the werewolf and the family structure of this

Before the narrator planned his attack he sane, “He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it.” “Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold...” (2). If you don’t like someone's physical trait it is normal to ignore it or stay away from them and the narrator is not normal he clearly shows his emotions are above and beyond what is “normal” because of how scared he got when someone looked at him. Some readers take the position that the narrator has something wrong with him.
Dahmer’s need for companionship mixed with his perversions led to the idea of turning his victims into “zombies” m

Jeffrey Dahmer was born on May 21, 1960. He was the first born out of two. Growing up he did not get a lot of attention for his mother was an attention hog always wanting his dad’s attention, she even attempted suicide to make his father pay more attention to her. They also did fight a lot. When he was four his dad dug out old bones and ever since then he has had a fascination for bones.

He even put a dog’s head on a steak and put it in his backyard.
Have you ever wondered what could cause a person to kill another person? How they could do it time and time again and not feel one ounce of regret? Serial killer Joel Rifkin asked himself this same question after he was convicted of killing 17 women. He wondered why he could commit such a violent act, and he decided to have scientist explore his brain to give him the answers that he wanted. Dr. Daniel Amen examined Joel’s brain scans, “When I looked at Joel Rifkin’s scan, I thought to myself, this is a brain that is vulnerable to violence. He had low activity in his prefrontal cortex that most human thoughtful part of the brain” ("Joel Rifkin - Psychopathic Brain"). Joel is not alone on this, 13 out of every 20 serial killers that have been
What drives a person past insanity? What drives an individual to feel no remorse, but rather a psychological relief in murderous acts? Consider all the different types of people on Earth as well as the lifestyles and situations these people are raised up in. As much as it’s desired to think the world is filled with people who carry no such thing as a bad bone in their bodies, that thought process is simple deception. The fact is that psychopaths and sociopaths hide among others in everyday environments - neighbors, teachers, family members, doctors, friends, or even the local mailman. Psychopaths are declared as people who suffer from a mental disorder causing aggression and abnormal behaviors such as their “lack of
By definition, a serial killer is ‘an individual who murders more than three victims, one at a time during a relatively short interval’, but is it possible to define the reasons and motives behind these attacks? One of the most intriguing aspects of crime throughout the years has been focused on serial killers. What makes a serial killer tick? There is not any one, straightforward answer as to what motivates individuals to commit murder. “Unravelling the making of a serial killer is like aligning a Rubik's cube”.
“My consuming lust was to experience their bodies. I viewed them as objects, as strangers. It is hard for me to believe a human being could have done what I've done”(Dahmer).
This paper explores three criminological theories as to why Jeffrey Dahmer committed his crimes. Although these approaches vary in terms of defining the cause of crime, one thing is certain, there is no single cause of crime; the crime is rooted in a diversity of causes and takes a variety of forms depending on the situation in which the crimes occur. However, the published articles vary in their definitions and uses of Criminological Theory. Rawlins (2005) suggest that the criminal phenomenon is too complex to be explained by a single theory. Other theories suggest differently and; therefore, have varying explanations. This paper examines the Psychological, Biochemical, and Social Process theories to slightly explain Jeffrey Dahmer’s actions.

For hundreds of years, boys of all ages have set ants and any small living things they can get there adolescent hands on, ablaze with magnifying glasses, they step on the living things in hopes of destroying all life and the souls that they have been told are inside of them. There is an early on fascination in a child's life of death and killing, but this curiosity soon ends once there is a further understanding of death, as I often say Once something is dead its sole existence is no longer with us, but what if this fascination does not go away in the presence of adolescence and puberty. What if this fascination of the dead evolves into something that begins to pull aspects from sexual orientation. Can the Past events In Jeffrey Dahmer's life can be attributed to the man he became? I think so.
A sudden flashback. Definitely an unfamiliar experience. Could this be, my memory? I immediately ran
Jack the Ripper, the Zodiac Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, the BTK Killer. The names and assumed names of these cold-blooded serial killers are forever branded into the cognizance of people everywhere. This is mainly due to the mass media coverage, including newspapers, movies, television specials and books. This media coverage brought to light that these killers were, on the surface, normal, successful, attractive, productive members of society – that is, until the time that their heinous crimes came to be discovered.
