Seriously, I just re-read this for the first time since it was published. It's such a fascinating story still, the fact that these people followed Manson with such loyalty and were from such different places than he was. I've now started to read In Cold Blood again. Perhaps you will too?
I was about 15 when this book came out. I was both fascinated and terrified by it. It freaked me out so much I had to put it under the couch when I wasn't reading it because just glancing at the cover gave me the creeps. (I think the original cover had "Helter Skelter" dripping in blood...) So many nightmares that summer.
The best true crime book ever written. Vincent has written other books and they're fascinating. I find him to be an incredible attorney and a great writer..true talent!! Thanks VB for putting the trashiest people in prison where they belong! You rock..
While I applaud my favorite local sandwich shop, Giacomo Fine Foods, for getting new and clearer signage, there's no way a business on...
