Other than Jack the Ripper's killing spree in the late 1890's, few crimes have gripped popular culture so firmly by the throat. One of them is the horrifying murders perpetrated in the Fall of 1957 by a lonely farmer by the name of Ed Gein. Known as "The Butcher" or "The Ghoul" of Plainfield, Wisconsin, his crimes are no secret now and much has been written about his nefarious deeds. So, what exactly did he do that qualifies him as a Human Monster, and just as importantly, why? This article from issue #6 of REAL CRIME (December 2015) attempts to answer those questions, as well as take the reader on a detailed tour of Ed Gein's House of Horrors.
