From acid sex to satanic slaughter
40 years after the infamous Tate-LaBianca murder case of August 1969, Creation Books presents a definitive account of those killings and their perpetrators, the Charles Manson Family.
In this revised and updated edition of THE SHADOW OVER SANTA SUSANA, investigative journalist Adam Gorightly takes his readers on a black magic carpet ride from the Hollywood "Beautiful People" scene of the late 60's through to the vast desert landscapes of a Death Valley gone mad - with all the love-ins and murderous creepy-crawls that happened along the way. He also investigates a number of conspiracy theories, both old and original, about the Manson case. The result is the most complete document published to date on Manson and his “Love and Terror Cult”, an illustrated kill-bible for the coffee-tables of all self-respecting true crime buffs, counter-culture freaks and aspiring teenage satanists.
Expanded from its original release in 2001, this controversial “40 year anniversary” edition includes new material on Manson and family along with over 200 rare photographs.
“The single greatest book about crazy Charlie and his hippie chicks!” Michael Marinacci,
author of Mysterious California
“For years I've had a gnawing feeling that there was more going on with the Charles Manson Tate/LaBianca murders than ever made it into the public consciousness. Now a book has been released that, more than any other before it, fits many of the pieces together in a case that still has us interested forty years later.” Victor Thorn, wingtv.net
THE SHADOW OVER SANTA SUSANA, published by Creation Books, www.creationbooks.com, 7 X 10 inches, 192 pages. $19.95.
ADAM GORIGHTLY
An active contributor to the ‘zine revolution of the late ’80s and early ’90s, Adam Gorightly’s byline was a familiar sight in many cutting-edge mags of the period where he sharpened his literary teeth penning articles on the paranormal, conspiracies, and fringe culture. Adam’s explorations into these arcane waters eventually led, in October 2001, to the first edition of The Shadow Over Santa Susana: Black Magic, Mind Control and the Manson Family Mythos followed by The Prankster and the Conspiracy: The Story of Kerry Thornley and How He Met Oswald and Inspired the Counterculture (November 2003); The Beast of Adam Gorightly: Collected Rantings 1992–2004 and James Shelby Downard’s Mystical War (November 2008)
His articles have appeared in numerous publications such as The Excluded Middle, UFO Magazine, Paranoia, SteamShovel Press, and FourTwoFour, the largest soccer magazine in Great Britain. Adam has lectured across the US. His rant, “Were the Early UFO Contactees Ritual Magicians?” was presented at The Retro UFO Space Convention in April 2006; The Roswell UFO 60th Anniversary Festival in July 2007 and The League Of Western Fortean Intermediatists Mini-Con in October 2008 in Los Angeles.
