Summary of Marilyn Manson & Neil Strauss's The Long Hard Road Out of Hell

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 My grandfather’s cellar was off-limits to everyone except him. It was his world, and he kept his dirty secrets there. I was a scrawny 13-year-old with freckles and a bowl cut, while my cousin Chad was a scrawny 12-year-old with freckles and buck teeth. We wanted to become detectives, spies, or private investigators when we grew up.

#2 My grandmother, Beatrice, was force-feeding me meat loaf and Jell-O, which was mostly water. She came from a rich family and had tons of money in the bank, but she was so cheap that she would try to make a single Jell-O package last for months.

#3 My grandfather had a tracheostomy, which meant that he had a hole in his throat from which his voice came out. He was always annoyed, and would sometimes bark at me and my brother.

#4 I played in the backyard with my friend Aleusha, an Alaskan malamute, who was my only real friend besides Chad. I was also curious about my grandfather and his depravity, so I didn’t go to visit my father’s parents for about a week.
