Review Quotes:

"An engrossing primer on the bizarre and often deadly cults that sprout from American culture like weeds."--Matt Bors, founder of The Nib and author of We Should Improve Society Somewhat


"A breathtaking panoply of what Philip Roth termed the 'indigenous American berserk' is on full display in this detail-packed anthology about American cults."--Publishers Weekly, a 2021 Summer Reads selection


"A pretty good reflection of its subject matter: never coherent, often shocking, full of little revelations, and liable to pull you in to its strangely riveting view of the world."--Leonard Pierce, The Comics Journal
