Why read it?
1 author picked Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There is an odd beauty to the madness at display here. It just goes to show you never know what’s going on behind the closed doors of your next-door neighbors.
From Clay's list on The best books on bad neighbors.
