Started Duma Key tonight, got through 66 pages and found a good stopping point.
Can't wait to re read more of the classics but still have way too much catching up to do, followed by some Joe Hill somewhere in the near future!
I've always been a fan of true crime, hope that doesn't sound weird, but it's the truth. A lot of folks are fascinated by it, not that they are a fan of murder, they are just fascinated by the whole thing. I haven't done much reading books when it comes to true crime, mostly internet reading and a lot of youtube lol. JFK, Manson & Zodiac Killer are 3 cases I've always been fascinated by and have devoted a ton of time to each. I'm by NO MEANS a manson fan or follower, just interested in the entire case, from the crime side of it to the now paranormal side of it ( victims ). Found Helter Skelter online for $1 so I ordered it, can't wait to read it! I've found there are all kinds of videos, documentaries, etc online and all of which are interesting but it's so aggravating to see so many different sides to the story, and see it changed around somehow in nearly every one. That's what makes it sort of fascinating, trying to get to the truth, or at least what you would be happy yourself with calling the truth. I figured, why not give the #1 bestselling true crime book in history a chance, since from many accounts it seems to be the absolute best if you're looking for pure factual information on most of what really happened. I don't agree with Vincent Bugliosi on the JFK case at all, which makes it almost difficult to read anything by him, but I agree on a lot of his other topics. I wish there were a book about the paranormal side of the case though, tired of watching videos about it! It's a very strange and eerie thing, what goes on nowadays just yards from where the Tate house stood.. And for those that don't believe it even possible for some of those victims to still be around somehow up there, you have to look at the nature of the crime. It was definitely brutal, sudden, dramatic and tragic enough to leave PLENTY of paranormal fallout, add to that the fact of the lady being pregnant, the incomplete/unfinished feeling left behind by her not getting to have the baby ( which is also a reason for a spirit/energy to either not cross over or leave plenty of negative energy ) and you could have a hell of a hotspot for that kind of fallout. Add to all of that the possibility of much of the location dealing with an indian burial ground, and some of the neighboring property being a "geo magnetic anomaly", and WOW.
