This is the story of the guy who inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs. Like Dahmer, a little pitiful man named Ed Gein, raised by a dominant mother and abusive father, drifted into insanity after the death of his mother and proceeds to murder two women, rob the graves of several others and uses their body for multiple goulish ends.

Easy read, well written, but overly simple, this book does not delve significantly in depth into the mind of Gein but just explains the facts regarding the facts that overwheled Plainfield, WI in 1957. I read it in two sittings and feel confident I know enough of what happened. Pretty good book, but not really worthy of my library for the long term, as Capote's "In Cold Blood" which was outstanding.
