Resumen del Editor
In this poignant and disturbing memoir of lost innocence, coercion, survival, and healing, Dianne Lake chronicles her years with Charles Manson, revealing for the first time how she became the youngest member of his Family and offering new insights into one of the 20th century's most notorious criminals and life as one of his "girls".
At age 14, Dianne Lake - with little more than a note in her pocket from her hippie parents granting her permission to leave them - became one of "Charlie's girls", a devoted acolyte of cult leader Charles Manson. Over the course of two years, the impressionable teenager endured manipulation, psychological control, and physical abuse as the harsh realities and looming darkness of Charles Manson's true nature revealed itself. From Spahn ranch and the group acid trips to The Beatles' White Album and Manson's dangerous messiah complex, Dianne tells the riveting story of the group's descent into madness as she lived it.
Though she never participated in any of the group's gruesome crimes and was purposely insulated from them, Dianne was arrested with the rest of the Manson Family and eventually learned enough to join the prosecution's case against them. With the help of good Samaritans, including the cop who first arrested her and later adopted her, the courageous young woman eventually found redemption and grew up to lead an ordinary life.
While much has been written about Charles Manson, this riveting account from an actual Family member is a chilling portrait that recreates in vivid detail one of the most horrifying and fascinating chapters in modern American history.

Historia
Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.

Historia
Mike Rinder’s parents began taking him to their local Scientology center when he was five years old. After high school, he signed a billion-year contract and was admitted into Scientology’s elite inner circle, the Sea Organization. Brought to founder L. Ron Hubbard’s yacht and promised training in Hubbard’s most advanced techniques, Rinder was instead put to work swabbing the decks. Still, Rinder bought into the doctrine that his personal comfort was secondary to the higher purpose of Hubbard’s world-saving mission.

Historia
Science is a force for good in the world—at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn’t everything, it’s the only thing—no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process.

Historia
In January 1978, I slept in my bed at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University as Ted Bundy stalked nearby. He grabbed an oak log from a stack of firewood, slipped through a back door with a broken padlock, and headed upstairs.He began twisting doorknobs. Room 9 was open, and he quietly and quickly killed one of my sleeping sorority sisters. Across the hall, he found another unlocked door and murdered again. Then, he turned the knob to my bedroom and found it was open. I remember the attack vividly. But Bundy wasn’t my first brush with death, and he wasn’t my last.

On bookshelves around the world, surrounded by ordinary books bound in paper and leather, rest other volumes of a distinctly strange and grisly sort: those bound in human skin. Would you know one if you held it in your hand? In Dark Archives, Megan Rosenbloom seeks out the historic and scientific truths behind anthropodermic bibliopegy - the practice of binding books in this most intimate covering.

Historia
Horror films promise an experience: fear. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. Nightmare Fuel covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time.

Amazingly strong woman, a story of overcoming and finding hope
Amazingly strong woman, a story of overcoming and finding hope. I wasn’t born until 1967 and didn’t know much about the Family or Manson, she brought it to life in a way I could understand. What an amazing woman.

Captivating story of the family, not the murders.
So well told, I was riveted for the entire reading. And I'm *very* grateful to Dianne Lake for doing the recording. It would not have been so captivating if read by a person with no relationship to the story. I know a moderate amount (from reading and watching archived film) about the Manson Family's story, and Ms Lake's book has done a lot to fill it in and tie it together. But just as much, it's a story of the heartbreak and challenges surmounted by a young girl in that time and place in America. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Manson Family and not simply the murders and subsequent trial.

Fascinating inside look
This was a fascinating look at what like was like inside the Manson clan and how simple it was for an innocent girl to get caught up in it. Lake is not a professional narrator, but her inexperience was offset by the knowledge that she was telling her own story. It seems very authentic and not just someone's chance to create a version that made herself look good.

Compelling and Visceral
Dianne Lake's memoir of her time with one of the most notorious men in recent American history pulls no punches. She is unflinching in her look at what led to her joining with Manson and the time she spent as part of his world. Through her story, through her dedication to pulling up and dealing with unpleasant realities (and there are many), we get a whole picture. While this might not be for everyone (especially if descriptions of drug use, underage sex, and violence are offensive to you), this is a history without rose tint, and in its honesty, it is compelling.

So Much…a Survivor
To think the child she was endured so much is heartbreaking and maddening. I’m a few years younger than the author and I’m not sure how much of what I remember came from current events of the day or from reading about it later, but I hadn’t heard most details she provided.
She has overcome a great deal and has dug deep to provide us her story. I hope it’s not for our entertainment but for our education. This should be a cautionary tale for parents and anyone else responsible for children/teens. It’s big bad world if you’re not careful.
To note: it’s very sexually explicit in some places, but I don’t think there’s a way to tell the story without involving the sexual abuse she survived.

Extraordinary story
Dianne, thank you for sharing this story. You survived many extraordinary circumstances and I applaud your honesty. Thank you as well for reading it to us yourself. I’ve listened to this book several times and your strength inspires me. I think anyone curious about what happened in the late sixties should read this as a standard.

information not found anywhere else.
A first hand account of the Manson family. It dispells many of what Manson apologists have tried to peddle over the years. Manson did preach Helter Skelter, he became more violent and changed from preaching love to preaching hate. He also had sex with the author when she was only 14 years old and sodomized her against her will on another occasion. He was brutal and abusive. And yet, he was able to hypnotize so many into his delusional world.
This is a must read for anyone curious about the Manson murders and the Manson family. I've read it twice and will definitely read it again.
