I promise I’m not a creep (which is exactly what a creep would say) but I love books, series and movies about cults. It’s interesting to me that people join them and do things that they normally wouldn’t, then realise it’s a cult and (try to) get out. Whether it’s cults from the past or recent ones, true stories or fictional. So I’d love to add some titles to my TBR list 😊

If you haven’t read it, I found The Road to Jonestown really interesting.
The Girls by Emma Cline. It’s a fictional story, inspired by the cult of Charles Manson.
Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones.
The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn.
Educated by Tara Westover.

Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle (fiction).
For fiction, *Rogue* by Mona Awad is about a beauty cult.
“Educated”, by Westover. It’s very well written and is nonfiction.
