Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?
One of the greats in the field of true crime literature, Harold Schechter (Deviant, The Serial Killer Files, Hell's Princess), teams up with five-time Eisner Award-winning graphic novelist Eric Powell (The Goon, Big Man Plans, Hillbilly) to tell the story of one of the most notoriously deranged serial killers in American history, Ed Gein. Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? is an in-depth look at the Gein family and what led to the creation of the necrophile who haunted 1950s America and inspired classic films like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Carefully researched and illustrated, Schechter and Powell's true crime graphic novel moves the Gein story beyond exploitation, providing a fact-based dramatization of these tragic, psychotic, and heartbreaking events. Because, in this case, the truth needs no embellishment to be horrifying.
