To understand what drove Gein to commit the heinous acts that would make him infamous, one must delve into his troubled upbringing. Growing up on a small farm in Plainfield, Wisconsin, Eddie endured a childhood that was filled with abuse and neglect.
Born to a domineering mother and an alcoholic father, Gein's formative years were marked by a toxic and restrictive environment. His mother, Augusta, was a fervently religious woman who preached fire and brimstone. Her extreme beliefs and puritanical views created an unhealthy atmosphere for young Eddie, stunting his emotional and social growth.
As he reached adulthood, Gein's troubled mind started to manifest itself in ways that would shake the quiet town of Plainfield to its core. The story behind the man who transformed from an odd recluse to one of America's most notorious serial killers is both chilling and grotesque.

The remains of numerous women adorned Gein's nightmarish dwelling. Human bones, furniture made from human skin, and an array of disturbing artifacts pieced together the extent of his unrivaled madness. The revelations shocked the nation, shining a harsh spotlight on the darkness that existed within the human psyche.

One of the greats in the field of true-crime literature, Harold Schechter, teams with five-time Eisner Award-winning graphic novelist Eric Powell to bring you the tale of one of the most notoriously deranged murderers in American history, Ed Gein. This is an in-depth exploration of the Gein family and what led to the creation of the necrophile who haunted the dreams of 1950s America and inspired such films as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Schechter and Powell's true-crime graphic novel takes the Gein story out of the realms of exploitation and gives the reader a fact-based dramatization of these tragic, heartbreaking and psychotic events.
