    On many a day had Handy, the Goat Girl of Mern, pursued her goats up and down the rocky eminences of her native mountain. And never—NEVER—in her fourteen or so years' experience had she been blown up by a mountain spring. But there comes, in every one's experience a day which is unlike every other day, and so it was with the Goat Girl. As she was pursuing What-a-butter, her favorite goat, there was a sudden crash, a whish, and up flew the slab of rock on which she was standing, up and away. The adventures into which she was carried by this simple though awefull beginning take a whole book to relate. How she met Nox the Royal Ox of Keretaria, how together they went in search of little King Kerry, how at last they rescued him and found themselves feted guests of Ozma of Oz, all these things you must read for yourselves.

    "I'm not man enough to be human. But I'm learning to fake it." Marilyn Manson 
This book is about the cult of Marilyn Manson 
This book describes why and how Marilyn Manson became an abusive monster. It explores Manson’s life and inner world through his art. The core is about the transformation of Manson’s art in the „High End of Low“ era when Manson started to believe that abusing women, cutting them, and painting with their blood is an enlightened form of HIGH ART. That led to abusing more than 40 women and creation of a RAPE CAVE. Their stories are included in this book and connected to Marilyn Manson’s social network posts and songs. The book contains the latest news and revealed messages from Depp's investigation.
