Norman Bates galore. “Mother this, mother that”

That said there’s this cool new book from Shane Bugbee on Ed Gein and stealing his headstone, find it here: https://edgeinfanclub.com/?fbclid=PAVERFWANRzKBleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpx4_4M8VtKMsj-6o4tpHPVnTjt93serElfBEkmFhqcFQeRqnj4NDx8lYA6Wn_aem_pKyz2-P2ZwVk4dv5nBPGFA
