Very Good. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age. The Shocking True Story of ED GEIN, the Original "Psycho". HIS CRIMES WENT BEYOND YOUR VERY WORST DREAMS, by Harold Schechter, Author of Deranged. SUB-TITLE: The Shocking True Story of the Original "Psycho". COVER ART: Wide World Photos. MOVIE TIE-IN: This book was the inspiration for the 1960 feature film Psycho. SYNOPSIS: MURDER WAS THE LEAST OF HIS CRIMES...DEVIANT. The Shocking True Story of the Original "Psycho". The year was 1957. Photographs would show him across the country: a slight, Wisconsin man with a twisted little smile, a man who had lived for ten years in his own secret world of murder and depravity. Here is the grisly true story of Ed Gein, the killer whose fiendish fantasies inspired Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho"--the mild-mannered farmhand bound to his domineering mother, driven into a series of gruesome and bizarre acts beyond all imagining. In chilling detail, Deviant explores the incredible career of one of the most twisted madmen in the annals of American crime--and how he turned a small Wisconsin farmhouse into his own private playground of ghoulishness and blood. FROM THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA COMES A TRUE STORY MORE HORRIFYING THAN ANY MOVIE OR NOVEL...DEVIANT.
