What Evan Peters learned after 10 months in Jeffrey Dahmer’s head
Last week, writer Evan Peters shared a tale of a disturbing incident he had while reporting on Jeffrey Dahmer. While he was sitting in the hospital room of Dahmer’s friend, Peters recalls a strange visit from the accused serial killer, who allegedly gave him a tour of some of his bizarre behavior.

But as Peters was preparing to write about the incident, the details of it began to sound much more troubling. Peters said that he never got a chance to ask Dahmer anything about his life before he met him. In fact, he said that he was too afraid to ask
