About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "The Death of Elvis Presley Pt. 1: Orion (Repost)" from Conspiracy! The Show covers the strange 1977 death of Elvis Presley, kicking off a series that begins with author Gail Brewer-Giorgio and her work of fiction that accidentally nailed real-life details of the King's life. The episode also digs into the highly bizarre real-life Elvis clone that her book inspired, along with several strange details surrounding Elvis's death and funeral.
Adam Tod Brown goes it alone for this installment, laying the groundwork for what becomes a multi-part look at Elvis Presley Pt of the story, starting specifically with the novel "Is Elvis Alive?" and the earlier book "Orion," both written by Brewer-Giorgio. The episode also traces the real-world fallout of that fiction: a masked performer marketed as "Orion," presented by Sun Records as a strange echo of the Elvis mythology that Brewer-Giorgio's writing helped fuel.
