This is the book for your ultimate enjoyment.
"Alone in my room my thoughts went from Ed Gein back to Ted Bundy and then back to Ed Gein. I wondered what developmental or environmental factors could possibly cause individuals to be capable of such savage and heinous behavior? I had a hunch that the causes, whatever they were, had to be operational very early on in the child’s development and I decided to make it a personal project to find out. Although I had not read the entire Gein book, I already knew something of the complicated and unusual childhood of Ted Bundy. But not everyone with a troubled beginning becomes a serial killer. Why only some and not all?"
