Synopsis

Gein

A True Account of Wisconsin’s Most Notorious Killer — Now Featuring Unpublished, Never-Before-Seen Photographs

In 1957, the quiet town of Plainfield, Wisconsin was shattered by a discovery so horrifying it would haunt America for generations. At the center stood one man: Ed Gein — the seemingly mild, soft-spoken farmhand who hid unthinkable darkness behind his vacant smile.

“Gein” is a gripping, fact-based exploration of the real life, crimes, and twisted mind of the man who inspired some of the most iconic horror characters in history. Drawing from local records, firsthand accounts, and historical documents, this book pulls back the veil on the murders, grave robberies, and psychological torment that shaped the Butcher of Plainfield.

This newly re-published edition includes rare and previously unpublished photographs of:

  • Bernice Worden, the hardware store owner whose death exposed Gein’s secret world

  • Frank Worden, whose search for his missing mother led to Gein’s arrest

  • George and Augusta Gein, the troubled parents whose iron grip and distorted beliefs molded Ed from childhood

  • Plus additional images that bring readers deeper into the world surrounding Gein’s crimes

These photographs—never before available to the public—give readers an unprecedented look at the people and events connected to one of America’s most chilling true-crime stories.

Meticulously researched and boldly written, “Gein” goes beyond the headlines, revealing the man behind the myth, the terror behind the farmhouse door, and the tragic realities hidden in Plainfield’s shadows.

If you’re drawn to true crime, dark history, or the untold stories left out of mainstream accounts, this is the definitive edition you need.
