My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf is a great and short primer on the early years of this most vile serial killer. There are loads of documentaries, podcasts and books that cover the crime but this graphic novel has the singular angle of being written by what would be considered one of his rare friends in high school. A fascinating study in how appearances aren't all they seem, but also how hindsight can warp that to show what darkness was always there in plain sight.
