Hardback. Condition: Fair. At age 14, I became one of Charles Manson's Girls. At 17 I helped put him in prison. This is my story. At fourteen 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. 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 twentieth century's most notorious criminals and life as one of his "girls." 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 took her into his home, 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. Member of the Family includes 16 pages of photographs.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good.

Together they visit the Gate's headquarters and experience the organization's twisting and imprisoning of human souls. In HOME BASE, Chad Thorton, the newest member of the team, thinks it's time to transform from a hastily assembled gaggle of individuals to a team with a focus, a mission, and a home base. The others resist the idea . . . until they're all targeted in their various home towns. They come together, battered and confused, to the hotel that is Chad's chosen headquarters-but they'll soon find out that they're not safe even there. In FAIRY, When the Harbingers team is sent to Mexico to search for a fairy, Andi is thinking of pretty wings and magic wands until they are shown the dead body of an actual winged creature. From where did these things come, and why has there been no sighting of them until now? When someone reminds them of an age-old prediction, the fairies seem much more sinister than charming. In AT SEA, Tank and the Harbingers team have faced strange and frightening things in the past. This might be the strangest. Every trial they've faced, they've faced together, but now they don't even recognize each other-or themselves. Tank awakens on a bed in a small room. He doesn't know where he is. Worse, he doesn't know who he is. The image in the mirror is that of a stranger wearing a tuxedo. Before long, Tank learns that he's on an old style cruise ship-a powerless vessel adrift on a flat ocean, lost in a gray fog that blankets everything under the flat gray sky. Tank doesn't like the fog. Or the ship that periodically shuffles its decks. Soon, Tank learns that he's not the only being on the mystery ship. He begins to wish he was. Krutop, Lee (illustrator).…
