Podcast appearances and mentions of Harold Schechter

My special guest tonight is true crime author and researcher Harold Schechter who's here to discuss his new book about the first mass killing of it's kind in the United States. Get his book Maniac: The Bath School Disaster and the Birth of the Modern Mass Killer on Amazon.In 1927, while the majority of the township of Bath, Michigan, was celebrating a new primary school—one of the most modern in the Midwest—Andrew P. Kehoe had other plans. The local farmer and school board treasurer was educated, respected, and an accommodating neighbor and friend. But behind his ordinary demeanor was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and paranoia. On May 18 he detonated a set of rigged explosives with the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it. Thirty-eight children and six adults were murdered that morning, culminating in the deadliest school massacre in US history.Maniac is Harold Schechter's gripping, definitive, exhaustively researched chronicle of a town forced to comprehend unprecedented carnage and the triggering of a “human time bomb” whose act of apocalyptic violence would foreshadow the terrors of the current age.Unlock a world of mystery!Join our exclusive community and instantly access over 1,000 ad-free episodes, mind-blowing bonus segments, and much more.

Cette semaine, direction Cleveland au cœur des années 30 , juste après la Prohibition. Le grand héros de l'Amérique, Eliot Ness, célèbre pour avoir fait tomber Al Capone, prend la tête de la sécurité publique de la ville de Cleveland. Mais il va se retrouver face à une menace encore plus sombre qu'un baron du crime : un tueur en série insaisissable. Dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery, votre podcast préféré consacré à la bande dessinée américaine, nous explorons Torso, l'un des premiers titres de Brian Michael Bendis, co-écrit avec Marc Andreyko. Les deux auteurs nous plongent dans l'une des histoires les plus troublantes de leur ville natale, un fait divers glaçant adapté en comic book noir et publié en France chez Delcourt. Torso : du true crime en comics Qui sont les auteurs ?Si vous lisez régulièrement des comics, le nom de Brian Michael Bendis vous est certainement familier. Véritable pilier du comics américain des années 2000-2010, on lui doit des titres phares comme Ultimate Spider-Man, la création du célèbre Miles Morales, ou encore les grandes heures de Jessica Jones dans la série Alias. Il est reconnu pour sa capacité à donner vie à ses personnages à travers des dialogues réalistes et percutants. Plus surprenant : il est aussi le dessinateur de Torso, qu'il illustre dans un style brut, presque expressionniste, qui renforce l'ambiance oppressante du récit. De son côté, Marc Andreyko, co-auteur de Torso, est peut-être un peu moins médiatisé, mais tout aussi talentueux. Scénariste engagé, notamment en faveur de la cause LGBT+, il est l'auteur de titres marquants comme Manhunter chez DC Comics ou l'anthologie Love is Love, publiée en hommage aux victimes de la tuerie d'Orlando. Son écriture se distingue par une forte dimension humaine et sociale. The Cleveland Torso Murderer : un fait divers glaçantTorso adapte une histoire vraie, l'une des plus sombres de Cleveland. Entre 1934 et 1938, un tueur en série inconnu enlève des personnes défavorisées issues des bidonvilles, avant de disséminer des fragments de corps un peu partout dans la ville. La presse le surnommera le Cleveland Torso Murderer. Peu avant le début de ces crimes, Eliot Ness est nommé chef de la sécurité de la ville, chargé de superviser la police et les pompiers. Rapidement, le tueur s'amuse à le provoquer, allant jusqu'à déposer des cadavres à quelques mètres de son domicile. C'est cette traque haletante que Bendis et Andreyko mettent en scène dans leur roman graphique noir. Un contexte social lourdLa grande dépression frappe de plein fouet les États-Unis. Cleveland est envahie par des milliers de personnes à la recherche de travail. Beaucoup s'entassent dans des bidonvilles improvisés, qui deviennent le terrain de chasse du tueur. Sur la dizaine de meurtres, la police ne parviendra à identifier que deux victimes. Leurs histoires, comme celles des autres, restent largement méconnues. Malgré cette tragédie, Torso parvient à offrir un véritable témoignage historique. Le récit, sombre et intense, dévoile un pan oublié de l'histoire des États-Unis, tout en mettant en lumière les injustices sociales de l'époque. Bendis et Andreyko n'oublient jamais de donner une dimension humaine à leur enquête. Un comics marquant, entre enquête et témoignageTorso est une lecture incontournable pour les amateurs de true crime, de thrillers policiers et de bandes dessinées engagées. Le style visuel de Bendis, très éloigné de ce qu'il fera plus tard chez Marvel, donne une personnalité unique à l'ouvrage. C'est aussi l'occasion rare de découvrir l'un des seuls titres qu'il ait illustré lui-même. Que vous soyez passionné d'enquêtes criminelles, d'histoires vraies ou simplement curieux de découvrir un comics indépendant percutant, Torso mérite clairement un coup d'œil. Vous aimez le true crime et le polar ?Si vous êtes amateur de true crime ou de polar noir en bande dessinée, on vous recommande chaudement d'autres épisodes de ComicsDiscovery dans la même veine : Incognito de Ed Brubaker et Sean Phillips :

Michael and Jess talk about the comics "Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?" by Harold Schechter and Eric Powell and The Ring, Volume 1 by Hiroshi Takahashi and Misao Inagaki.

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the case of Albert Fish. Though he appeared harmless, Fish was anything but; his crimes were fueled by a disturbing blend of sadism, cruelty, and unimaginable depravity. Candice unpacks the disturbing psychology behind his crimes and the twisted fantasies that fueled his brutality. Then, she sits down with legendary true crime author Harold Schechter, who wrote Deranged: The Shocking True Story of America's Most Fiendish Killer!, to discuss Fish's traumatic past, his chilling confessions, and what his case reveals about the darkest corners of the human mind.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? is a 2021 graphic novel that pairs historical true crime author Harold Schechter and Eric Powell, writer and illustrator of the monster punch-up comic The Goon. Jack and Kate revisit the horrifying true tale of the Butcher of Plainfield–this time, in comic book style. What impact did this case have on pop culture, and why does it continue to fascinate us? How were the ‘90s a different country, and why did that country smell like grunge? Is the true crime genre Horrible Exploitation or Cool Exploitation? All these questions and more will be explored in this episode of the podcast.

Although we tend to think of mass shooters as a modern day phenomenon, in truth these deranged individuals have been around for a lot longer than you think. In this episode I tell you the story of Howard Unruh, who in 1949 strolled through his Camden, New Jersey neighborhood and murdered 13 people in just as many minutes.

From veteran true crime master Harold Schechter comes a unique look into the history of crime told through the dark objects left behind. The false teeth of a female serial killer from 1908, the cut-and-paste confession of the Black Dahlia killer, the newly cracked cipher of the Zodiac killer, the shotgun used in the Clutter family murders, which were made famous by Truman Capote's true crime classic In Cold Blood—these are more than simple artifacts that once belonged to notorious murderers. They are objects of fascination to the legion of true crime obsessives around the world. And not merely for fleeting dark thrills, but because they represent a way to better understand those who we typically label monsters in lieu of learning how they actually became one.In Murderabilia, veteran true crime writer Harold Schechter presents 100 murder-related artifacts spanning two centuries (1808–2014), with accompanying stories of various lengths. A visual and literary journey, it presents a history unlike any previously told in the true crime genre, one that speaks to the dark fascination of true crime fans while also presenting a larger historical timeline of how and why we continue to be captivated by the most sensational crimes and killers among us.

In this expansive conversation, we peel back the layers on his captivating new book, 'Murderabilia: A History of Crime in 100 Objects', get details on Harold Schechter's real-time reaction of hearing Ed Gein's voice, and find out if this alters the psychological profile of Gein. We also tackle the defining 'signature crimes' of each era, the media's role in glamorizing them, the horrific tales of Albert Fish, BTK, Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacy, and Harold's selection process when it comes to choosing the deranged subjects of his novels. --

A Civil War veteran who perpetrated one of the most ghastly mass slaughters in the annals of U.S. crime. A nineteenth-century female serial killer whose victims included three husbands and six of her own children. A Gilded Age “Bluebeard” who did away with as many as fifty wives throughout the country. A decorated World War I hero who orchestrated a murder that stunned Jazz Age America. While other infamous homicides from the same eras—the Lizzie Borden slayings, for example, or the “thrill killing” committed by Leopold and Loeb—have entered into our cultural mythology, these four equally sensational crimes have largely faded from public memory. A quartet of gripping historical true-crime narratives, Butcher's Work restores these once-notorious cases to vivid, dramatic life.

Heya Cheeseheads! Join us out here this week as we discuss some of the most grisly crimes to become the inspiration for horror-pop-culture as we know it today: The Story of Ed Gein. While many true crime fans already know all the details of this case, we will give you the first-time reaction of Wisco Girl, Kate. We'll also give some perspectives on this story from a Wisconsinite's POV growing up in the rural parts of this state.So come with us as we dive into Eddy Teddy's home life, up-bringing, and what eventually led him to think it was a good idea to try and recreate his mother via human flesh.Sources today include: Deviant by Harold Schechter, Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica, All That's Interesting, and Real Crime

On September 6, 1949, Howard Unruh walked out onto his street in Camden, NJ, and within 20 minutes had killed 13 of his neighbors and wounded three. This week I will share with you the case of the first mass shooter in US history, Howard Unruh. This week's mocktail is inspired by a copycat cocktail my friend Tom found on Diznify.com. It is called Galaxy's Edge Jedi Mind Trick and the original can be found at Oga's Cantina in Disney World's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Below is my zero proof version: Zero Proof Jedi Mind Trick 7.5 oz Grapefruit flavored sparkling water 1 oz Welches white grape juice 1 oz Orgeat; I used Liber & Co., but you can make your own and there are other brands. 2 tsp blue curacao syrup; look for alcohol free versions Juice from half a lime A few dashes of grapefruit bitters Step 1 - Combine all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice, shake or stir, then strain into your favorite vessel.

Beekman Place, once one of the most exclusive addresses in Manhattan, had a curious way of making it into the tabloids in the 1930s: “SKYSCRAPER SLAYER,” “BEAUTY SLAIN IN BATHTUB” read the headlines. On Easter Sunday in 1937, the discovery of a grisly triple homicide at Beekman Place would rock the neighborhood yet again—and enthrall the nation. The young man who committed the murders would come to be known in the annals of American crime as the Mad Sculptor.Caught up in the Easter Sunday slayings was a bizarre and sensationalistic cast of characters, seemingly cooked up in a tabloid editor's overheated imagination. The charismatic perpetrator, Robert Irwin, was a brilliant young sculptor who had studied with some of the masters of the era. But with his genius also came a deeply disturbed psyche; Irwin was obsessed with sexual self-mutilation and was frequently overcome by outbursts of violent rage.Irwin's primary victim, Veronica Gedeon, was a figure from the world of pulp fantasy—a stunning photographer's model whose scandalous seminude pinups would titillate the public for weeks after her death. Irwin's defense attorney, Samuel Leibowitz, was a courtroom celebrity with an unmatched record of acquittals and clients ranging from Al Capone to the Scottsboro Boys. And Dr. Fredric Wertham, psychiatrist and forensic scientist, befriended Irwin years before the murders and had predicted them in a public lecture months before the crime.Based on extensive research and archival records,The Mad Sculptor recounts the chilling story of the Easter Sunday murders—a case that sparked a nationwide manhunt and endures as one of the most engrossing American crime dramas of the twentieth century. Harold Schechter's masterful prose evokes the faded glory of post-Depression New York and the singular madness of a brilliant mind turned against itself. It will keep you riveted until the very last page.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tony speaks with True Crime Writer and Professor Harold Schechter about his book Hell's Princess: The Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men. In the pantheon of serial killers, Belle Gunness stands alone. She was the rarest of female psychopaths, a woman who engaged in wholesale slaughter, partly out of greed but mostly for the sheer joy of it. Between 1902 and 1908, she lured a succession of unsuspecting victims to her Indiana “murder farm". Some were hired hands. Others were well-to-do bachelors. All of them vanished without a trace. When their bodies were dug up, they hadn't merely been poisoned, like victims of other female killers. They'd been butchered.Hell's Princess is a riveting account of one of the most sensational killing sprees in the annals of American crime: the shocking series of murders committed by the woman who came to be known as Lady Bluebeard. The only definitive book on this notorious case and the first to reveal previously unknown information about its subject, Harold Schechter's gripping, suspenseful narrative has all the elements of a classic mystery - and all the gruesome twists of a nightmare.Be sure to like and share this episode!

Ed Gein is a legend in the world of true crime and horror.  Multiple horror movie franchises are built off of his case.  He was a monster.  He was also a very friendly and helpful neighbor who was described as meek and spineless.  This "spineless" man created nightmares when left to his own devices.  This story is so rough we had to bring in a special celebrity guest just to tone down some of the nastiness.  Prepare yourself before you listen to the life of Ed Gein.SHOW NOTEShttps://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/m%27naughten_rulehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Geinhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/ed-geinhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/ed-gein-houseDeviant, Harold Schechter (1998) https://www.amazon.com/Deviant-True-Story-Original-Psycho-ebook/dp/B003L77UI4/ref=sr_1_4?crid=MXHORVV4FMA&keywords=ed+gein&qid=1652055062&sprefix=ed+gein%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-4Lullaby: The Fear Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vol-xiv-the-inspiration-of-texas-chainsaw-ed-gein/id1583172613?i=1000552403403

In 1927, while the majority of the township of Bath, Michigan, was celebrating a new primary school—one of the most modern in the Midwest—Andrew P. Kehoe had other plans. The local farmer and school board treasurer was educated, respected, and an accommodating neighbor and friend. But behind his ordinary demeanor was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and paranoia. On May 18 he detonated a set of rigged explosives with the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it. Thirty-eight children and six adults were murdered that morning, culminating in the deadliest school massacre in US history. Maniac is Harold Schechter's gripping, definitive, exhaustively researched chronicle of a town forced to comprehend unprecedented carnage and the triggering of a “human time bomb” whose act of apocalyptic violence would foreshadow the terrors of the current age.
