An approachable story about how the writer behind famous "teen diaries" was in it for the glory. This book looks at how the publishing world let Go Ask Alice and future diary-style books be marketed as non-fiction in the name if helping kids. Actually, they just sold better that way - so unbelievably quickly that they helped birth a new genere. Then, conservative political parties and a grieving father used the book to push the public into a panic over LSD. For the encore, the writer took one family's real tragedy and warped it into a story of devil worship that only bad 70s horror made more campy. Fascinating. Sad. Eye-opening. Fiction and ambition can be a terrible thing in the wrong hands, and we are still feeling the impact today.
