Welcome to my new Friday series! Each week I’ll be featuring 10 Nonfiction Books with a common theme or subgenre. This week it‘s CULTS and I’m excited to highlight these ten creepy and fascinating titles.

Cults fascinate us all.  For some of us, it's about trying to understand the WHY.  Why do people commit these heinous and unspeakable acts? For others, particularly women, we read and listen to learn how to avoid becoming victims.

From the Children of God, an oppressive, extremist religious cult to a secret society, simply called School to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, where a strict patriarchal culture is defined by subordinate sister wives and men they must obey to the Church of Synanon, one of the country's most infamous and dangerous cults, here are ten books that do a deep-dive into these sinister and seductive organizations.
