One
of the most sensational books ever written about Elvis is
scheduled for publication in September-October as a limited
edition print available only through online auction houses
and fan clubs.
|
|
'The
Tupelo-Memphis Murders: A Psychological Study of Self-Destruction
and Murder!' was the subject of considerable discussion
and debate on underground message boards last year and
its release is being eagerly awaited by many fans.
Anonymously
written as a novel, the plot is cleverly composed with
none of its characters named, yet because of the events
described and their locale, you know exactly who they
are.
In
addition, the story can be read (or interpreted) on two
levels: as a straightforward tale or as a resonant, reflective
narrative embedded with higher level symbolic representations.

Unlike
'Fairytale', another anonymously written book from the Elvis
Underground, 'The Tupelo-Memphis Murders' is well written
and stylish. It also has much more substance within its pages
than the 700 page 'Fairytale'.
Apart
from its titular themes, 'The Tupelo-Memphis Murders: A
Psychological Study of Self-Destruction and Murder!' contains:
- quite
graphic descriptions of incest,
- the
impact of drug cocktails,
- an
assassination attempt in Memphis,
- the
Mob & FBI stings,
- sinister
"Men In Black",
- and
details of a raft of the colourful conspiracy theories that
dominate the Elvis underground.
While
many of the themes are familiar to Elvis fans, others are
not and will surprise many. Inclusions like a passage from
'Alice Through the Looking Glass' test the reader's ability
to think laterally and view the story on a symbolic level.
While
the book is at times unsettling and not for the squeamish,
its dark, menacing themes and highly symbolic prose make it
a most unusual and testing entry in the world of Elvis literature.
EIN
hopes to have a small number of copies available for sale.
Anyone interested in obtaining a copy of 'The Tupelo-Memphis
Murders' can contact
