About This Item
Panther. Good. Paperback. 1973. Owner's name in ffep. Text tanned.<br>Strange, sinister prophetic novel of a California death cult! Startling revelation of the pe rverse passions that seethe beneath the California sun. .
Synopsis
When a mortician appears on television to declare that death is infinitely preferable to life, he sparks a religious movement that quickly leaves Christianity and most of Islam in the dust. Gore Vidal's deft and daring blend of satire and prophecy, first published in 1954, eerily anticipates the excesses of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and the Heaven's Gate suicide cult.
