After all these years there is something about the occult world of Manson-era California that just never quite loses its appeal. Especially when it's done so right, as is the case with the new book, Cult Classic. The first release on the newly launched Viscous Ltd., Cult Classic sees creative director Amy Hood's visions come to life. With stunning photographs from Madison Krieger and a host of striking models, the book harkens back to a time of lurid sex, shocking violence and intense devotion.
What could possess two young beauties to kidnap a Hollywood starlet and drag her bound and gagged into the California desert for ritual sex and human sacrifice? That’s among the questions driving the explosive debut book from VISCOUS Publications.
This enticing publication features such mesmerizing models as Bodhi Rose, Zanah Marie, Diandra Godiva and Ana Corbi, stars of “Cult of the Femme,” the photo story about the kidnapped actress that runs through the book. It’s a tale of wide-eyed girls doped by the lotus of charisma and compelled to capture our young blonde heroine to please their leader. These girls will torture and kill for their queen, oblivious to the outside world.
