Recs if you like It’s Not a Cult...

Books where cults are a significant part of the narrative. Some fiction, some non-fiction.

Horror books about Cults, where terror is permeated by religion, closed communities and disturbing brainwashing. I will keep and eye open for more recs from the Pagebound club 👁️!

Horror that centers around a band or music. Most involve Metal bands and/or Satan. This sub-genre is very campy and fun but it can have some problematic moments (especially the old ones) so tread with caution and check content warnings!

don't you want to become a cult leader? there's something especially unsettling about one person who can effectively manipulate an entire group of people. even more so when it's something that could happen to any one of us. tread carefully as you explore these reads, they may just adopt you into their 'family' 🧟

Uncanny digital intimacy. Ring lights, comment sections, stan culture, identity crisis, doomscroll insomnia.

some are co-authored or probably ghostwritten, but regardless, they have an actor's name on the cover
