About the Book
The grisly true story that inspired Hitchcock's classic film "Psycho". Now in its first trade paperback edition, "Deviant" details how killer Ed Gein turned a small Wisconsin farmhouse into a retreat of ghoulishness and blood.Book Synopsis
From the author of "top-drawer true crime" (Booklist) books comes the definitive account of Ed Gein--the man whose shocking crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. The year was 1957. To his Wisconsin neighbors, Ed Gein was a slight, Midwestern farmhand with a twisted little smile. To an unsuspecting nation, he would become one of the most notorious crime figures in history, having lived for ten years in his own secret world of brutal murder and unthinkable depravity. Here is the grisly true story of "the Butcher of Plainfield," a deranged killer whose fiendish fantasies inspired such works as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. More horrifying than any movie or novel however, Deviant dares to explore in chilling detail the life and times of one of the most twisted madmen in the annals of true crime--one who still haunts us to this day--and how he transformed his small, nondescript farmhouse in the American heartland into his own private and inescapable domain of ghoulishness and blood.Review Quotes
