Foreword

In our country today the problem of mental illness is receiving increasing attention and concern. Psychiatrists and laymen alike have often remarked that the borderline between sanity and madness is an arbitrary and a thin one. Cataclysmic events can frequently push a person toward insanity or normalcy.

In one famous case history a woman with a split personality eventually developed a third final and stable personality as a result of a remembered traumatic event. Conversely, during times of war, soldiers have often gone insane under heavy enemy fire.

ORGY FAMILY is the story of a free-wheeling family-Maria Crocker, a recent widow, and her three uninhibited daughters, Darlene, Jill and Elke-that unwittingly takes in a young drifter, little knowing that he not only is an escaped mental patient but also a sexual psychopath. At first, all goes well, for the boy seems to thrive under their attentions. Tension inevitably results, however, as the boy becomes more and more possessive, his deranged mind seeing the free-loving Crocker women as his own personal property. Something must give-and something eventually does, in an orgiastic night rife with sex and violence.

ORGY FAMILY- a work of fiction yes, but a story with a message for us all.
