_Cult Rapture: Revelations of the Apocalyptic Mind_ by Adam Parfrey is an intimate look into modern-day cultism with topics ranging from Russian mail-order brides to a fan club that worships Elvis' last girlfriend to people who believe that the US government is creating Satanic slaves of unknowing American citizens.

In a blast from the Fidonet past, there is an entire chapter on Indiana lawyer Linda "I'll sue you for slandering me in your tagline" Thompson's war against the US government. Parfrey makes no bones about how he feels about some of the subjects that he is covering - his sarcasm and outright rudeness often punctuate these essays and interviews.

This book only proves that people really are stranger than you can possibly imagine. Highly recommended for those interested in the oddities of human nature.
