Ed Gein--Psycho!

Ed Gein--Psycho! | Paul Anthony Woods, Errol Morris

Ed Gein was #headoverheels for repurposing human flesh and bones. I honestly wanted to post a pic of the human nipple belt he made but I figured that may just push my mom over the edge 🙀 #ABBAinAugust

IamIamIam Oh, I've seen it!!! Gein was a real fascination for me for a brief period. I was also studying Albert Fish at that time. Gein's...er... handiwork is really something to see!!!!! 6y

IamIamIam Sorry, I meant I stacked the book. I think I ended up finding his items but not much about him or it was a late night Google black hole and I don't remember much of his life. 😉💀 6y

Meredith3 @Reviewsbylola ha!!!!! 6y

Meredith3 @IamIamIam I totally feel you!! 6y

BethM I just googled, my life is now complete. 6y

Meredith3 @BethM 🙏🏻💚👌🏻 6y

Meredith3 @Echo omg totally 😹😹😹😹! I‘ll need to check that podcast out! (edited) 6y

rubyslippersreads I‘m with @Mdargusch — that would have pushed me over the edge too. 😱 6y

Bookish.SAM Whoa! This post caught my eye despite never having heard of him... for a second I thought you all were talking about an artist...maybe? Quick google search quickly remedied that. Yikes!!! I‘m intrigued but a little afraid of what I‘d find if I search too much 😱 (edited) 6y

Mdargusch Thank you! 6y

Meredith3 @Bookish.SAM ha! That‘s so funny, I can see how you initially bought it was talking about an artist! I guess he kinda was an artist of sorts 🤔 6y

Meredith3 @Mdargusch you‘re welcome! 😹 6y

IamIamIam @Echo Oooh, I didn't even know that was a thing!!!! I'm going to have to check that out!!! @Meredith3, I always liked the lamp too! 😂 I love that I can even say that to someone who isn't going to yell at me!!! 6y

Meredith3 @IamIamIam yes! I like the skull bowls 💀🙌🏻 6y

#17booklove Day 15: Nonfiction Love. My favorite type of Nonfiction is true crime! I have been obsessed with true crime from a very young age. I used this book as research for my junior research paper in high school. Yep, I wrote a very important paper about a serial killer. Aced that shit, too. It took some negotiating with my teacher, but she finally caved when she realized that I would half ass any other topic. #staysexydontgetmurdered

Reviewsbylola True crime used to be my no. 1 genre. I still love it but a lot of it can seem very formulaic now. I haven't read this so I'll have to check it out. 8y

teebe I love true crime 👍🏼 It's not bookish, but I fully recommend watching Deranged, a grindhouse horror based off Ed Gein. 8y

AlaMich I'm...a little afraid of you. 😳😉 8y

CocoReads I did a book report on Helter Skelter my senior year. I've always been into true crime as well. 8y

CocoReads Oh, and long before Devil in the White City, I think I may have even done a mini paper on H.H. Holmes. I certainly remember reading everything I could find over and over again. And in our little town in the pre-internet days, that wasn't easy 8y

Crystalblu Yeah, I'm always interested in the serial killer books as well! Even have an encyclopedia of them! 8y

Hollie Ed Gein was a creepy as mofo! Growing up dad controlled the tv, so all I saw was true crime, history, and sports! 8y

Josie @AlaMich hahahaha so was my junior English teacher 🤣 8y

Josie @Reviewsbylola I try to space them out for that exact reason. Or, I just stick to older ones. 8y

Josie @teebe oh that sounds amazing!! I will hunt it down 8y

Josie @Hollie hahaha sounds like a well rounded tv night to me! I grew up on true crime shows and Maury! My days went something like this, "you ARE the father AND the murderer." 8y

bookwrm526 I did a paper in high school about a serial killer who was active in my home town, The Gaffney Strangler 8y

Clare-Dragonfly Oh, I love true crime, especially serial killers! I hadn't heard of this one--I'll have to look for it. @teebe I wonder if the movie is based on the book?

Deranged

Clare-Dragonfly @teebe Oh, it looks like that's a different Harold Schechter book, so I guess not. This is the one on Ed Gein.

jpmcwisemorgan I like true crime, although usually in the format of shows like the FBI Files. If it's a book, serial killers are a preferred topic - I even got to take a class on them in college and I heard the lawyers for John Wayne Gacy speak many years ago. I'm really here for the hashtag! 😉 8y

Josie @jpmcwisemorgan I see you, murderino 😁 8y

kylienoele This hashtag made my day 👏🏻 8y

[DELETED] 1409720085 Dateline is my favorite show. 😂😂 8y

jpmcwisemorgan Ok, you might be on to me. 😊 8y

Aloisi_tribe Hey! Fellow #murderino! I'm also a true crime addict. I don't know how I've missed this book on Ed Gein though. 8y

Gayan It should not surprise you at all that I wrote my Senior research paper in Charlie Manson. 😂 8y

Josie @Gayan not even a little bit! 8y

so-so

I liked this book, but found myself skimming through towards the end (partly because the information was more about the world outside of Gein himself and I have lots of other books I'm dying to read). Gein was definately a psycho. It's always interesting to read about people like this.

pick

An in depth look into the life of serial killer, Ed Gein. I read this book for my junior year research paper. Gein is often thought of as the first serial killer, and many horror films are based on him. A great read if you are interested in how he became such a monster.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Ooooo!! This sounds fascinating! 9y

Gayan This sounds like something I would love. 9y

Josie @ErickaS Flyleafunfurled @Gayan you guys should pick it up!!! Gein really was a heinous man. But you learn about his childhood and what turned him into such a monster! It was so good. 9y

Gayan Sold! 9y
