Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie (Bloodlands… por Harold Schechter
It was alright. I will admit that I picked it up because of the Little House on the Prairie reference in the title.

Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? por Eric Powell
From what I can tell, this is a “based on a true story” kind of nonfiction. Relatively few sources are provided, so large parts of the narrative appear to be fabricated. A little disappointing for me, because I wanted some clarity on the man behind the genderqueer serial killer movie stereotype and how much of that characterization is Freudian weirdness. I’ll have to find out a different way.

Feels weird rating it, so I’ll keep it unrated for now.

The mad sculptor : the maniac, the model, and the… por Harold Schechter
Well written narrative of a triple murder and the insane artist responsible for it. Gives an overall feel for the time, some extra murders seem added just for the heck of it, but an interesting read
