Where did the idea for The Death Collectors come from?
As a teenager in the late 60s I was fascinated by the Manson Family murders. Im also a devotee of art and art history. Somehow the two concepts mingled in my head and began creating a novel. I didnt copy Manson Family events, but took generously from the idea of a sad and self-absorbed band of misfits under the influence of an egomaniacal madman.
