For Janice Gail Knowlton,

survivor and friend.

(1937–2004)

I did it all for me. Purely selﬁsh. I worshiped the art and the act of

death, over and over. It’s as simple as that. Afterwards it was all

sexual confusion, symbolism, honoring the “fallen.” I was honor-

ing myself. I hated the decay and the dissection. There was no

sadistic pleasure in the killing. I killed them as I would like to be

killed myself, enjoying the extremity of the death act itself. If I did

it to myself I could only experience it once. If I did it to others, I

could experience the death act over and over again.

—Dennis Nilsen
