Book description
Forget everything you think you know about true crime. Harold Schechter's Deviant isn't just another book on Ed Gein-it's the audiobook you'll listen to with the lights on, the one where you keep pausing to check if the front door's locked. Schechter, that guy who basically wrote the textbook on America's most unsettling psychopaths (and yes, he's a professor, but he's also way more fun than your college lecturer), doesn't just recount Gein's crimes; he makes you feel the chill of that Wisconsin farmhouse, the same one that inspired Psycho and Silence of the Lambs. You hear it in Schechter's voice-dry, sharp, utterly unflinching-as he dissects Gein's twisted world: the mother who suffocated him, the trophies he made from his victims, the sheer, mundane horror of a man who thought he was just... doing things right. This isn't the gory spectacle you might expect. Schechter's genius is in the quiet moments-the way he describes Gein's quiet obsession with his mother's skin, or how he'd sit at his kitchen table, humming, while planning his next step. The audiobook format? Perfect. You can hear the weight of every word, the way Schechter's sarcasm ("a mild-mannered farmhand bound to his domineering mother") lands like a perfectly aimed punch. You'll lean in, not because it's shocking, but because it's terrifyingly real. It's the story that made Hitchcock shudder, and Schechter makes you understand why. This isn't just history-it's a mirror held up to our own fascination with the dark, and it's impossible to look away. You'll finish it and immediately want to listen again, just to hear how he makes the unimaginable feel chillingly, disturbingly human. And honestly? That's the real horror.
