    I’ve always been really interested in cults, but the main thing that intrigues me is the breakdown of how people can become so at will, the mixture of fear and all those feelings that force them to stay despite the cruel conditions.

    I’m not too invested in specific cults for a book, but maybe rather an analysis?

    I don’t normally read books, but it’s something i’d like to get into, if there are any recommendations for books or trusted authors it’s appreciated!
