Deviant by Harold Schechter
4.0
A quick and well-written true crime book for Halloween time. Schechter really is good at giving you a sense of place and time, of the community in rural Wisconsin, before, during, and after Ed Gein’s horrific crimes.
There were several moments when the writing stood out as especially good. Shockingly good, in the way that I had to stop and appreciate the descriptions and imagery.
I’d heard good things about Schechter from the Last Podcast on the Left guys, and he didn’t disappoint.
