Title: A Misunderstood Book
Product review: If you want to know just the facts, read Deviant by Harold Schechter or Edward Gein by Judge Robert H. Gollmar, both great books.However, this tries (in it's own crude, juvenile, and trashy way) to tell a different story, a story of how a twisted man-child named Eddie, who fed himself on a steady diet of mental junk-food, including E.C. comics, penny dreadfuls and true-crime magazines, and how he ended up becoming the unwitting father of modern horror, inspiring everything from sick jokes, sideshow attractions, and whispered camp-fire stories, to watershed books and films like Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.Sure, this is itself mental junk-food, the kind that Gein would probably appreciate. It's compulsively readable though, especially for fans of horror films, bad books, and the dark side of pop-culture.
