Elvis religion : the cult of the King
From Graceland to Las Vegas, from fans to impersonators, from novels, films and music to internet websites, the cult of Elvis Presley has, since his death, become ever more imaginative. This book explores the phenomena growing out of this world and investigates what it is that has turned the King of Rock 'n' Roll into a god-like figure
