Charles Manson: Manipulation and Betrayal is a gripping exploration of one of the most infamous criminal masterminds in American history. This book delves into Manson's life-from his troubled childhood, early criminal endeavors, and failed aspirations of becoming a musician, to his descent into cult leadership and the chilling murders that shocked a nation.

The narrative traces Manson's ability to manipulate and brainwash his followers, turning idealistic young people into instruments of violence. Through a series of ill-fated encounters, including his ties with celebrities like the Beach Boys, and a botched drug deal that escalated tensions, Manson's apocalyptic vision of "Helter Skelter" leads to brutal murders, including the high-profile deaths of Sharon Tate and the LaBianca family. The book examines the profound psychological control Manson exerted and how a deal gone wrong spiraled into chaos and murder.

Drawing from trial details, the stories of his followers, and the cultural legacy left behind, Charles Manson: Manipulation and Betrayal provides a comprehensive look at how manipulation, delusion, and violence collided in one of the darkest chapters of American history.

TRIGGER WARNING! THIS IS A HEAVY TOPIC KIND OF BOOK THAT CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING: HOMICIDE, BLOOD/GORE, MAJOR DEATH (+ CHILD DEATH), CULT ACTIVITY, MENTIONS OF S/H, AND MORE! IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO THIS KIND OF STUFF YET YOU STILL WANT TO READ: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! MOST CHARACTERS BELONG TO SR PELO, NOT ME! SIDE NOTE: THIS BOOK IS MADE BY THE OFFICAL AU CREATOR! DO NOT STEAL THIS STORY IN ANY WAY AND CLAIM IT TO BE YOURS, BECAUSE IT IS MINE! DRAW FANART OF IT, MAKE STORIES OF IT, DO WHATEVER, BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANYONE TO STEAL MY WORK. ------------------------ I've always been a part of a cult with a sadistic leader and a mythical god we worship by sacrificing children. Since then, the town has grown bigger and bigger, and we might've been forgotten. Or at least, all of us, except our leader. Yet the police have found out about us since the fateful day they entered the house on the hill, which is where we sacrifice our victims. They know who we are. They're trying to spread the word because they know our tendencies and have seen us before, but nobody believes them, not even the mayor. Because there's more of us and they don't know it. They should be careful of our leader, though. Who knows what he'll do to the civilians after he killed most of us and turned us into his puppets to torment, play with, and especially control to hunt and capture the citizens for him. He'll probably turn them all into his puppets, too. Even though we've caught more children than we used to, we can't help but feel betrayed. We were supposed to do this together, Atticus. Remember? That's the reason why we're a cult, right? But this is for our god, after all. ------------------------ (ALT NAME FOR AU: HYPNOTIC HELL (YH)) (Inspired by Spooky Month Nightmare Parade by @staticCL1NG on Twitter & Island of the Slaughtered by @eaveery.css on Tiktok)

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.

[COMPLETED] "If you let me leave now, I won't tell anyone what you did sir..." I grumbled, and he smirked a little, as if it was a hilarious joke. "Like I said, you aren't leaving Caroline..." Caroline was once a perfectly happy child, she had a home, food, warmth. She had a father, a brother, and a wonderful mother... but her mom died in a crash. She and her brother had to leave their father who couldn't handle his anger and his grief. As runaways, she and her brother, Dustin, are cold, hungry, and only have each other to face the merciless cruelties of the world. Alone she was followed by a man that was helpful, and kind. But just when she thought she could trust him, he took off the mask of a normal man, and hurt her in ways unimaginable. Trapped, she was forced into waiting out her time thinking of the world, her mom, and her life. She had to do something hard, she had to make a choice. She could stay and be hurt and trapped, but fed and warm, or leave and be cold and hungry, but free...
