Unhinged: The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein, The Butcher of Plainfield

The shocking story of the real-life killer who inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.To the people of Plainfield, Wisconsin, Ed Gein was a lonely old bachelor, mild-mannered by nature, perhaps a little dim, but altogether harmless, a man they could rely on to do odd jobs and to look after their kids. Ed could be a little offbeat, sure, but the stories the local teens told - about the shrunken heads he kept hanging beside his bed, about the ghoulish figure seen dancing in the moonlight at the Gein property - were dismissed with a chuckle and a healthy dollop of skepticism. Then, on a frigid day in 1957, a search for a missing woman brings police officers to Ed Gein’s ramshackle farmhouse. What they find inside will send shockwaves reverberating around the world and introduce America to one of the most depraved killers in its history.This is the true, yet barely believable, story of Ed Gein, a genuine American psycho.Scroll up to grab a copy of Unhinged: The Shocking True Story Of Ed Gein, the Butcher of Plainfield
