I thought this was really well written. The story itself indeed echoes the Manson cult in a fictional and haunting way. The allure and intoxicating energy of the characters from the ranch, was really well portrayed.  And also the descent into madness. I think it captured the late 60’s LA Americana vibes very well. I liked it! 3 stars
