Author J.W. Ocker has made a name for himself with explorations of Salem, cursed objects and cryptids. In his newest book, Cult Following, readers travel with Ocker through 30 of the most infamous cults in history. Whether you’re knee-deep in your study of the Branch Davidians or just casually familiar with Synanon, this book acts as a fascinating exploration of cults and how people get enmeshed in cults that eventually explode into the news cycle.
J.W. Ocker is a master of exploration in the realm of the weird and wild. His writing never treats the reader like they should know more or less than they do.
