Deviant by Harold Schechter (Paperback)

Deviant is Harold Schechter's account of Ed Gein, the Wisconsin farmhand whose crimes, uncovered in 1957, shocked the nation and later inspired films such as Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs. Drawing on the historical record, Schechter reconstructs the case and the small community at its center. This Gallery Books paperback is a gripping choice for true crime readers interested in one of the most infamous cases in American history.
