The Myth of Helter Skelter
by Susan Atkins-Whitehouse
The Myth of Helter Skelter
is a clear retrospect of the events in the life of Susan Atkins;
the way she saw it then, and the way she understood it
at the time of the writing years later.
Be warned;
it can be a difficult read,
if the reader puts themselves in Susan's place.
To see what Susan sees, and feel what Susan feels,
is heart-wrenching.
It's very likely you will have to put the book down
several times during your reading of the book
in order to compose yourself;
It is not easy to co-live the life that Susan lived at that time.
If it's such a difficult read,
why do we recommend it?
There have been countless versions
and variations of the events of 1969,
to the point where the events have been
completely fictionalized as time goes by.
With all of the websites, and articles,
and movies, and opinions,
and God-knows-how-many versions
of 1969 events there are,
it is impossible to decipher what is real,
and what is not.
The Myth of Helter Skelter is a revelation.
We strongly recommend it.
