Publisher's Synopsis
"Due to legal complications, the 'official' true story of the Ed Gein case could not be told before now." Thus begins the opening lines of the book, ED GEIN: AMERICA'S MOST BIZARRE MURDERER, by the late Judge Robert H. Gollmar. The real true story of Ed Gein - a murderer, grave robber, cannibal, and transvestite - is much more bizarre and terrifying than any Hollywood version of the events that took place on November 16th, 1957. In THE CEMETERY ARTIST: ED GEIN: A TRUE AMERICAN HORROR STORY, author Brian Lee Tucker, using book excerpts, real court transcripts, and eye witness, behind-the-scenes-testimony, has created an in-depth look into the mind and life of a man whose crimes transcended even those of rivals Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, or even Jeffrey Dahmer in their frequency and ferocity. What readers will be subjected to is probably the most unusual case of modern times. The TRUE story of Ed Gein, arguably America's most bizarre killer, a man who created his 'art' - exotic household items and wearing apparel made from female torsos, heads and vaginas - and, unquestionably, the most notorious killer to ever stand in a court of law.
