    1. There are plenty of horror novels that feature cults: Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig, Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle, Mister Magic by Kiersten White, etc.

      Under the Banner of Heaven by John Krakauer
      It looks at one of the fundamentalist pockets of Mormonism.

      Educated by Tara Westover
      Another very closed off religious family and the authors experience growing up and getting away from it.

      Both are true stories and while not traditional cults, but reflective of many cult like elements and the challenges faced by those in these communities.

      *The God that Failed* by Louis Fischer, André Gide, Arthur Koestler, Ignazio Silone, Stephen Spender, and Richard Wright.
