      Synopsis

      America may have had its fill of psychos for the last forty years, but none of them has inspired so many books and films (Pyscho, The Silence of the Lambs, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) as Wisconsin's cannibalistic handyman, Ed Gein. None of them has been used as the ultimate ogre in countless children's stories and off-color jokes, and none of them has been found guilty of as many unspeakable atrocities as Ed Gein.

      This is his story. This is his legend.

      Annotation

      The weird, nightmarish tale of Ed Gein rocked America in the 1950s. His story is one of murder, grave robbing, mutilation, necrophilia and cannibalism. Gein, a Wisconsin woodsman, turned his lonely farmhouse into a slaughterhouse for humans. Woods not only documents the life and crimes of Ed Gein but also examines the psychology that drove him to commit his atrocities. Photos.

      February 02, 2006: If you want to learn about Ed Gein read a different book. If you want to learn about his legend read this book. It's split in 2 parts. Him and his legend. The author goes through each movie and how it relates to Gein.
