Charles Manson S Blood Letters

"Both Rubacher and Manson are brilliant, intuitive, half-mad artists and psychologists/manipulators...only God knows why one uses his energy and talent for good and why one wastes it in evil. Rubacher is on to something." San Francisco Chronicle "Rubacher's journey to the heart of darkness was not without travail. During the two years he corresponded with Manson, Rubacher says, he endured threats from members of the family and from Manson. Manson ordered several family members to pay menacing visits to Rubacher at his home." Sacramento Bee "R&R, I may let you live. Then again, maybe not. Sweet dreams." Charles Manson "The author has incredible courage or is mad to involve himself with the psychopathic killer." Lawrence McLoughlin, Speakers Bureau, Pattaya Expats Club, Thailand "Charlie Manson is one of the most intriguing personalities in law enforcement history. To study him is to confront evil at its worst." Ret. Lt. H. Sigworth, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The true story of the Manson murders.

Charles Manson, a famous criminal who had sponsored a wave of murders in the United States in the 1960s, died at the age of 83. A look back at the psychopathic guru's hallucinating journey. "Have you ever dreamed of a place you didn't remember going to?" asks ex-hippie Peter Fonda to a young woman fascinated by the sixties in Steven Soderbergh's The English in 1999. A place that may only exist in your imagination. A distant place, only half of which you remember when you woke up. When you were there, you knew the language, you knew how to handle it. That was the 1960s. No, not even that. Only 66 and the beginning of 67. That's all". And then what?

Having lost his girlfriend to a college quarterback, and his best friend to the war in Vietnam, Billy “Shep” Shepherd left his home in rural South Carolina to experience the Summer of Love in California in 1967. He was looking to find himself. Instead, he found Charles Manson. In less than 2 1/2 years, Shep goes from being a naive teenager to partying with the Beach Boys and The Doors and sitting by the pool with Candice Bergen and Sharon Tate. Along the way, he becomes a member of the “Manson Family,” and Charles Manson’s most trusted confidant. A story of the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll of the sixties that evolves into a story of love and friendship then madness and murder, Family Man will make you laugh, cry, and re-write the history of everything you think you know about the Manson murders.
