Charles Manson Now by Marlin Marynick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Manson is a key figure, of course, in this book which tells the story of psychiatric nurse Marynick's drifting into the Manson orbit from awareness to phone to live meeeting. Along the way are lots of Manson quotes, including from letters and calls to the author. Marynick tells of patients that committed unspeakable crims and goes into some details on non-race war theories of the Tate-LaBianca crimes: (1) an early Church of Satan project (Stanton LaVey, elicted from his self-absorbed musing), and (2) a drug deal gone bad through a Tex-Wojciech Frykowski connection with the following LaBianca crimes as an organized crime favor meant to insure Tex and company's protection (Stanton, "Vicki", and others.
Certainly there is much in detail on these theories in other sources, but this entertaining certainly stepping back and considering just in the general true crime cannon.
