This book is proof that the truth is often stranger than fiction. Grady Stile, Jr. achieved fame and made his living as "Lobster Boy" due to a genetic deformity to his hands and feet. Behind this carny dweller lurked an evil and cruel man who thought nothing of abusing his family for years. His murder brought forth one of the most sensationalized trials ever with a wild cast of characters from his carny days. A sad, gripping and terifying read.
