Self-Published Author Claims to be Charles Manson’s Son

risingsun.jpgThis month Details magazine profiled rock star and self-published author Matthew Roberts–a man who has made headlines by saying he is the son of 1960s criminal, Charles Manson.

The story explores Roberts’ (pictured, via) strange life, weighing the evidence that he could be the son of the man who led the infamous Manson Family. GalleyCat caught up with Roberts’ management consultant, who confirmed that the rock star who bears an uncanny resemblance to Manson is working on a book proposal for his autobiography.

The article also describes his memoir: “Full of ruminations on numerology, alien contact, David Koresh, electromagnetic vibrations, and dozens of other quasi-scientific-spiritual topics, and studded with lines like ‘Oxygen will fire the codes of consciousness’ and ‘The negative energy vortex had sucked me in’ and (in jest) ‘See, I am Jesus Christ! I’ve thought it all along!,’ the tome comes across as something that Manson himself might’ve dictated to a harem of stoned flower children while cruising through Death Valley in a giant dune buggy.”

At Roberts’ website, you can download his memoir manuscript, The First Rays of the New Rising Sun.
