Ed Gein: The True Crime Story of the Twisted Serial Killer and Body Snatcher

by Jack Hunter

The shocking true story of one of America’s most gruesome and unforgettable serial killers.

In the quiet town of Plainfield, Wisconsin, police uncovered a house of horrors—furniture made from human skin, skulls turned into bowls, and a hidden life of unimaginable depravity. At the center was Ed Gein, a reclusive farmer whose crimes would horrify a nation and shape the darkest corners of true crime history.

This gripping account delves into Gein’s twisted upbringing, his descent into madness, and the disturbing evidence that stunned even seasoned investigators. Drawing on criminal psychology and detailed forensic analysis, author Jack Hunter exposes the haunting legacy of a man whose name remains synonymous with evil.

Ideal for readers of true crime, serial killer biographies, forensic case studies, and criminal psychology, Ed Gein is a chilling portrait of isolation, obsession, and the disturbing truth behind one of the most infamous killers in American history.

it wasn't badly written but it was very repedative, which made it hard to get into. I would like to have learned a bit more about Ed gein himself.and his childhood.

shit because it repeated the same thing constantly

[RJ Pena · Rating 2 out of 5]

for being such a short book the author finds ways to keep repeating himself paragraph after paragraph. if there was a drinking game for the words meticulous, horror, and macabre I'd be dead within 5 pages.

This book is so obviously written by AI….

[David Lussiano · Rating 1 out of 5]

Rehashed the same three points for 6 chapter the exact same way. I’m so happy I didn’t pay for this book, but I still want a refund.
