The Book of Cults Vol. 1 | Pop Culture Poison
A satirical nonfiction breakdown of how modern entertainment became emotional training. For readers who have felt broken by the distractions meant to shape them.
The Book of Cults Series
Nonfiction for people who see through the script.
The Anti-Cult Collection is a series of retro zine-style books — each one a cultural dissection disguised as nostalgia. Chapters are tracks on the collectible cassette covers. The whole thing reads like a philosophical mixtape for people who are done being told what to think.
Not self-help. Just pattern recognition in print.
What’s inside:
Each volume deconstructs the invisible systems shaping behavior—pop culture programming, everyday conformity, American mythology.
Written for the ideologically exhausted, the culturally skeptical, and anyone who’s tired of being gaslit by optimism.

Who this is for:

- People allergic to self-help theater and toxic positivity
- Anyone who suspects they’ve been performing a script they never agreed to
- Burnouts, skeptics, neurodivergent thinkers, and anyone who prefers clarity over belonging
What makes them different
Styled as artifacts. Each book looks like something you’d find in a 90s bedroom—cassette cases, mixtape aesthetics. Nostalgia as entry point, philosophy as payload.
Designed for re-reading. Dense but digestible. You can pick up any volume, flip to any chapter, and start deprogramming.
Built to collect. The series keeps growing. More volumes, more deconstructions, more tools for seeing what’s been shaping you.
