American Cult features over 20 artists to tell stories of various cults in United States history.  There were different approaches to narration and storytelling for each cult group.  The first-person reflection/reminiscent POV through the eyes of a teen in the Sullivanians is really effective.  While an all-knowing POV explained the complexities of the MOVE cult well.  For me, the standouts were the stories on: Warren Jeffs, NXIVM, Westboro Baptist, and the Sullivanians.  These are just a quick glimpse into the cults and only scratch the surface.  There are plenty of books and other true crime media to delve into them deeper.  There's definitely enough cults in our history for there to be a sequel book.

Any content warning you could think of is in this book so read with care.
