Incest monster Josef Fritzl has said in a shocking new book that he is "a good guy" who receives hundreds of love letters from avid fans.

The Austrian monster, who locked his daughter Elisabeth in a cellar where he abused her as a sex slave for 24 years and fathered seven children, also says in the book that he has a number of illegitimate children abroad.

The book, written by Fritzl with the help of lawyer Astrid Wagner, is titled 'Die Abgruende des Josef F.' translated as The Abysses of Josef F.

Passages reported in Austrian and German media quote the man as saying "In reality, I'm a good person", with him describing himself as a "responsible family man".

Fritzl, who is currently serving a life sentence, reveals in his book that he does not understand why his wife Rosemarie broke off contact with him.

The also claims in the book that he has an African son who "today is a respected lawyer".

Speaking about his arrest in 2008, he said: "I was completely alone with my thoughts. There was no one I could confide in."

The book also details the Austrian incest monster's daily life in the Stein prison in Krems an der Donau, with him saying that he sees himself as a cut above the other prisoners.

He reportedly avoids walking in the prison yard "because there are a few prisoners just waiting to be able to beat me up".

Fritzl is reportedly friendly with a prostitute murderer who he describes as a "helpful, nice guy" because he cooks for him on a regular basis.

But he added: "But I can't eat too much because I don't want to get fat."

He also claims that he receives "hundreds of letters", mainly from women "who are in love with me".

Fritzl also says in the book that he wants to "spend the last few years [of his life] in freedom, of course", saying that he would like to move back to Amstetten and "perhaps set up a small business there".

He has recently submitted an application to be transferred to a normal prison. Austrian courts have rejected previous attempts by the jailbird to be moved to a lower-security prison.
