Synopsis

Fifty years after the Sharon Tate/LaBianca murders, a new and terrifying investigation into the modern rebirth of Charles Manson’s killer familyPerhaps the most notorious American murderer of the twentieth century, Charles Manson’s legacy extends far beyond his horrific crimes. As the wild-eyed, swastika-tattooed, nightmarishly charismatic leader of the Manson Family, he was convicted of the brutal killings of nine people in 1971—including the Tate–LaBianca murders of seven in Los Angeles over two hot August nights in 1969.He spent the rest of his life in prison, and for the next fifty years preached his twisted philosophies from jail, attracting a whole new batch of freaks to his way of thinking.In The Last Charles Manson Tapes, authors Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett examine the Manson legacy. With brand new interviews with those closest to him, including Manson’s heirs, friends and followers, experts and historians, and hours of exclusive transcripts of Manson’s own manic preachings from his prison cell, you’ll get to view a side of this serial killer few have ever seen.Manson’s passing in 2017 has sparked into action a new generation of killer disciples, obsessed with the evil slaying spree he ordered and determined to carry on his “Helter Skelter” vision of an apocalyptic war. With the author’s on-the-ground investigation, learn how the man once described as “the most dangerous man in America” may yet live up to that name.

Quite possibly the laziest and worst of the manson case books. Its nothing more than what a grade 7 student would write as an essay. I noticed zero new sourced material. Its just a mixture of bits of stuff from the mountains of other books. Throw it into a blender and write it up and call it it new. Everyone who paid for this should get their money back. Its utter garbage.

Goodreads review by Dennis on December 30, 2024

Not as sensational as I had anticipated. And not a collection of interviews, as I had expected. Instead, it’s a relatively cogent, balanced, if paint-by-number bio of Manson, 80% focused on 1969-1970, as you’d expect. Benefits from being published in 2019, so it covers the complete arc of Manson’s l......more

Goodreads review by Mel on March 12, 2025

Wow this book is very underrated. I’ve read helter skelter, chaos and others … and this book still had a lot of new information. If you’re interested in the case but want a good summary without reading helter skelter (which is much longer and more “biased”) you should read this. I could tell the aut......more
