Critics Review
“An introduction into the fascinating world of cult leaders….Well researched and well organized.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Utterly addictive.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Chilling….Cutler insightfully explores what attracts people to cults and the psychology of their leaders.” —Publishers Weekly
“Shocking… Cutler’s focus is both narrative, detailing the story of the leader’s upbringing and the cult’s rise and fall, and also probing: Cults is interested in motivations and, to the extent possible, diagnoses… Not for the faint of heart but absolutely for the true-crime junkie, Cults is packed with details and unafraid to posit theories to explain these superlatively weird and scary stories.” —Shelf Awareness
“Chilling accounts of the infamous, from Manson to Jones to Koresh and names that we may have forgotten…goes beyond the headlines into the very souls and psyches of…notorious cult leaders and their manipulated victims….Fans of Cutler’s (and similar) podcasts and true-crime aficionados will appreciate this enthralling exhibition.” —Booklist
“An introduction into the fascinating world of cult leaders….Well researched and well organized.” —Kirkus Reviews
