Ed Gein. The Story of the Main Villain of Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs

No one in the farming community in the heart of America had any idea that their quiet and peaceful reclusive neighbor would turn out to be a brutal killer, tomb raider, and pervert who wore the skin of dead people... instead of clothing… The book "Ed Gein" is a true and chilling story about the most famous serial killer in the USA, Ed Gein, who turned his unremarkable farm into a human slaughterhouse and a place for making furniture, dishes, and clothes from body parts. By day he led an ordinary life, never refusing to help, and by night he performed the most disgusting and dark rituals.
His sick fantasies formed the basis of the cult horror films "Psycho" and "The Silence of the Lambs." Harold Schechter, a true crime writer and guru of books about serial killers, offers a detailed gripping account of Ed Gein, recreating the days of his life and exploring what drove a person to commit such atrocities.
