I wish I’d understood Join My Cult!, because judging from the response it’s gotten online and from book reviewers on Amazon.com it’s an amazing book, destined to be a cult classic and packed with various occult themes. Add drugs, magick, and conspiracy theories to the mix and you’ll have a book that is just as strange as it’s fantastic.

That is, according to others. Because personally I didn’t really understand a whole lot of what the 284 pages had to offer. That’s not a very funny thing to admit, especially not since I really did try my very best to understand what was going on. And sometimes I actually did understand. I think. Almost, anyway. There was one character named Alexi, one named Ken, another one known as Jesus, and someone known as Agent 139.

But, were some of the characters one and the same individual? What was reality, and what took place in dreams? Or on other astral levels? Who really did say what, and what was indeed happening? And why? What was Mother Hive Brain, which was mentioned time and again.

And so one, and so on. Can I really write a review about something I didn’t understand? Am I the stupid one here? Was the book good? Or bad?

Perhaps it was good. Or perhaps it sucked. What do I know? Well, at least it was weird. And very much so.
