Edward Gein is the definition of evil. His upbringing was the perfect storm for his actions, but something was always a little off within him. In this episode, we dive into his atrocities and along the way, we wish we had never heard his name. Makenna tells us about a band she discovered and Cynthia shares some of her music recommendations, too. Before we jump into Gein's life, we briefly explain the information behind the "rise in serial killers" theory hypothesized by author Peter Vronsky in his book Sons of Cain: a History of Serial Killers From the Stone Age to the Present. This episode is a lot to take in, so send us an email, leave a comment on our posts, or DM us about what you found the most disturbing/interesting. Enjoy!
