Reading Helter Skelter for the first time. Very chilling. Interesting time capsule too for the author

He calls the black house cleaner Mrs Chapman the “negro woman”, for example. And all the women are called attractive but none of the men are.

And considers light BDSM a “lonely, troubled, and insecure fantasy”

I think it’s probably one of the top kinks today but it’s interesting to see him shy around the topic

Aside from that, it’s really creepy and intense. Some true crime novels are not really planned out but his is good

And there’s this profound sadness and empathy towards the victims that comes across as genuine

I just got that!

you know this was written by the lead prosecutor on the case? it’s pretty great

Yeah! It really is
