title: Satan's Slaves
author: Richard Allen
description: "Just how did Charles Manson coerce his teenage followers to indulge in sadistic acts of torture and brutality? Richard Allen was Britain's most prolific pulp writer of the early seventies. Skinhead, Suedehead and Bootboys, his most notorious books, were all violent exploitation novels aimed at the youth. But allen was always on the lookout for social trends and during the sixties he'd spent some time on the West Coast, checking out the American scene... Satan's Slaves is a vivid account of drop-out California. Allen fingers hippie cult leader Charles Manson as living proof that straight society has been abandoned by an entire generation. Way ahead of its time, Satan's Slaves also discovers a burgeoning tribal youth culture at least twenty years before 1990s cyber-media hacks pick up the scent."

  The man who burst into her stateroom was huge and bearded, with a wickedly
  curved sword that he waved with what looked like skillful precision. Only
  half-dressed, Lady Caroline Kendrick gasped, snatching up her dressing gown
  and clutching it to her chest. She ordered unconvincingly, “Get out.”
  
  
  
  
  
  Dressed oddly in tan breeches and a red vest that bared his brawny arms, the
  big man smiled, revealing crooked teeth. His gaze ran over her, from the long,
  loose tumble of her hair, to where the material of her robe didn’t quite cover
  her bare legs. “Oh yes, my Lady, you’re the one all right.” He chuckled, his
  eyes small and bright in his dark face. “Hair like golden fire, Satan said,
  and as fair as the sunri
