New Book Reveals Bizarre Mind Control Practices

Online, July 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - According to author Tom Daly, the disclosures in his book are almost certainly the first anyone has heard about a bizarre yet sophisticated system of mind control, behavior modification and torture - practiced by a small group right here in Contra Costa County.

"Nobody has any idea that these people have been operating like this for upwards of thirty years," says Daly. "They seem to be just your neighbors - you borrow a cup of sugar from them and lend them your hedge clippers. But you live next door to something akin to serial killers."

Daly, who struggled with his experience for most of his life, tells about coming to grips with it and perhaps finding a way to overcome it - something he feels is vitally important to those who have been victimized, to their families and to possible future victims.

"Essentially, I felt sure there was nothing about this anywhere and that - as anyone recovering from any type of abusive relationship will tell you - knowing someone else has come through it can be an important starting point. This book will help with that and inform people in general about these atrocities," remarked Daly.

Don't Make Me Cry details Daly's experience as he unravels his memories, catalyzed by the receipt of a single odd letter, through the fog of thirty years of mis-remembered events - to re-living in his mind the actual, brutally overwhelming events themselves. But, unlike many memoirs, this one doesn't become self-indulgent and introspective. Instead, it lays out for the reader just what happened and Daly's reactions to it all, and the reader may or may not infer the connections.

As reviewed by cultural critic Philip Kobylarz:

"Some things cannot be unremembered. Such is the case with Tom Daly's memoir of love gone really, really bad...

"...the words are shocking to mildly put it. What unveils through the course of the narrative is a Manson-esque torture scenario...

"Part psychological thriller as the dust jacket indicates, part murder mystery without a literal murder, Don't Make Me Cry is a tale that proves for an eternity that the weirdness of our society often apexes in the sunny little corners of suburbia..."
