Very good and interesting. Love the mix of reviews and overviews. I read a couple of the Manson books sometime in the 1990s, it was enlightening to revisit them put in a greater context. My knowledge of the Jonestown massacre is mostly derived from Tim Cahill’s collections of articles/essays, and it was interesting to instead explore the exploitation movies and merch associated with the tragedy. A fanzine well worth the money.

Very, very good but no mention of the CM zine "Clang Bang Clang" ? (wink)
