I STOLE ED GEIN’S STONE! Halloween Book Release Party

INFAMOUS PROVOCATEUR SHANE BUGBEE LAUNCHES ED GEIN BOOK AT QUIMBY’S NYC ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Author of “I Stole Ed Gein’s Tombstone” and “The Founding of The Satanic Temple” Brings Controversy to Brooklyn Bookstore!!

BROOKLYN, NY – October 20, 2025 – Prepare for a Halloween night unlike any other. Notorious artist, publisher, and cultural provocateur Shane Bugbee will celebrate the launch of his explosive new memoir, “I STOLE ED GEIN’S TOMBSTONE: My Obsession with America’s Most Notorious Killer,” with an in-person event at Quimby’s Bookstore NYC in Brooklyn. The event is scheduled for Thursday, October 31st, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Bugbee, known for his confrontational approach to art and social commentary, is the figure who famously stole Ed Gein’s actual tombstone in 2000—a crime recently highlighted in the Netflix series Monster. His new book is the definitive, unapologetic confession behind the theft, detailing the motivations, the media frenzy, the shocking reactions from the victim’s family, and the author’s deep psychological connection to the killer.

The Quimby’s event promises to be a direct confrontation with the dark side of American culture, held appropriately on Halloween night. Bugbee will be on hand to sign copies of the new book and discuss his history of challenging societal norms. Attendees will also receive a free Ed Gein Fan Club “dis-membership” card and pin with purchase.

“This book isn’t just about a crime; it’s about obsession, hypocrisy, and the monster in the mirror,” says Bugbee. “What better place to unleash this story than in New York City on Halloween? Come confront the darkness.”

In addition to “I STOLE ED GEIN’S TOMBSTONE,” Bugbee will have copies of his other controversial works available, including “Cooking with a Serial Killer: Recipes from Dorothea Puente” and “The Founding of The Satanic Temple – Their Secrets Revealed!”

“I STOLE ED GEIN’S TOMBSTONE” is available now as both an e-book and paperback on Amazon.
