520 Fred Rosen researches the shocking true story behind the
murder of Lobster Boy—and finds his own life at risk In
his account of the sensational life and murder of Grady
Stiles Jr., also known as the legendary carnival “freak”
Lobster Boy, author Fred Rosen explains how Stiles’s death
was engineered by his wife, Mary Teresa, the carny known
as the Electrified Girl. Rosen describes how Mary Teresa
arranged for her husband’s murder after years of physical
and emotional abuse. The narrative is full of appearances
from the couple’s colorful acquaintances, including the
World’s Only Living Half Girl, Midget Man, and the Human
Blockhead. During Mary Teresa’s dramatic trial, Rosen
becomes a character in his own book. When both he and the
prosecution are threatened by Mary Teresa’s daughter, who
Rosen believes was a co-conspirator although she was never
indicted, the writer risks his life in pursuit of the
truth and the evidence that leads to Mary Teresa’s
conviction.
