Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi

5.0

I read this more than 20 years ago, when I should have been working on my MA thesis. I remember the day so well. Dread + avoidance + guilt + sick fascination. I did eventually finish the thesis—years and a different topic (and a divorce) later.
