Did a “toxic lover” kill Brian Epstein? American Larry Stanton had a four-year relationship with Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles, when being gay was a dangerous secret that could ruin lives and careers. Larry saw the inner demons that tortured Brian as he partied underground with London gangsters and music moguls who likely played a part in Brian’s demise. Worse, Larry introduced Brian to a manipulative young man – a toxic lover – who may have been responsible for Brian's death. This true-life story is finally told. This paperback version (revised and expanded) has a new Preface, more and better pictures, more info, and a larger font and better margins and spacing for easier reading.
