He dissolves the bodies in vats of acid and keeps several body parts in a storeroom. Certainly Andrew's escape seems inspired by a quotation Brite puts between the title page and the story proper: "Records of the 1994 autopsy of serial killer Jeffey Dahmer reveal that officials kept Dahmer's body shackled at the feet during the entire procedure, 'such was the fear of this man', according to pathologist Robert Huntington." (Milwaukee Journal - AP, 17 March, 1995.)Perhaps Brite read this and thought, "What if Dahmer had got up from the autopsy table?" The character of Jay, in particular, seems based on Dahmer: Jay has sex with, kills and eats his victims. ![]() It appears to be inspired by Jeffrey Dahmer. It is described as "two serial killers looking for love in New Orleans". ![]()
