The Manson File

20 years after the most publicized crimes of modern times the great body of source material on Charles Manson and his Family has been unavailable - in private hands, sealed in courtroom records, and within prison walls. Now, for the first time, here is a comprehensive amalgam of Manson's letters, spells, curses, artwork, lyrics, stories, and even an essay on the power of evil - intended not for the public but to influence his circle of followers. A picture emerges of what it is like to be a member of Charles Manson's Family, the process of conversion to Mansonism.
