About this product

Product Information

The truth behind the twisted crimes that inspired the films Psycho , The Texas Chain Saw Massacre , and The Silence of the Lambs ... From "America's principal chronicler of its greatest psychopathic killers" ( The Boston Book Review ) comes the definitive account of Ed Gein, a mild-mannered Wisconsin farmhand who stunned an unsuspecting nation--and redefined the meaning of the word "psycho." The year was 1957. The place was an ordinary farmhouse in America's heartland, filled with extraordinary evidence of unthinkable depravity. The man behind the massacre was a slight, unassuming Midwesterner with a strange smile--and even stranger attachment to his domineering mother. After her death and a failed attempt to dig up his mother's body from the local cemetery, Gein turned to other grave robberies and, ultimately, multiple murders. Driven to commit gruesome and bizarre acts beyond all imagining, Ed Gein remains one of the most deranged minds in the annals of American homicide. This is his story--recounted in fascinating and chilling detail by Harold Schechter, one of the most acclaimed true-crime storytellers of our time.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged. I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is. This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.

    Dead Skin Mask.

    I have read a-many true serial killer books. But none takes the mind on a ghastly ride of terror as the way Harold Schechter wrote "Deviant". The foreshadowing is outstanding; a hint is given early, then the truth of the hint becomes revealed later on in the story. Harold did this numerous of times in "Deviant", and no time did it become old or repetitive. Harold made Mr. Ed Gein, Slayer's Dead Skin Mask, the most haunting true-life ghoul ever to have been created by the Lord himself. If you like to have your eyelids crawl and your mind sickened, be sure to read this masterpiece. "Dance with the dead in my dreams, listen to their hallowed screams, the dead have taken my soul, temptation has lost all control"...Slayer

    What a story!

    I just purchased this awhile back, I actually thought it was a DVD when I bought it. When it arrived I was alittle dispointed knowing it was a book instead of a DVD, I almost sent it back. But when I started reading it I thought no way, I'm keeping this, when I started reading it I realized I couldn't put it down. I'm glad I bought, it now real good story on Ed Gein. I feel that it is worth the money I gave for it.

    Deviant by Harold Schechter

    This book was by far one of the grossest, creepiest true crime books I ever read. It was a scarey and riveting way. I was kept interested in the contents the way people are when they see an accident that is beyond all comprehension. Kept me interested and aware of the nature of some people we loosely call human.
