Ed Gein: The Body Snatcher (True Crime Shorts Book 4)

Ed Gein's gruesome crimes served as the real-life inspiration for fictional thrillers such as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. Gein's crimes included the exhumation of corpses from the local graveyard, and when police finally raided his isolated farmhouse, they were faced with a true 'house of horrors' - lampshades and the wastepaper basket were made of human skin, a corpse was hanging from a meat hook, while a shoe box containing shrunken human heads was found in a bedroom.
