Although cults have existed almost from the dawn of time, during the past 15 years, public interest in them has grown enormously--partially due to the shocking, bizarre acts of some recent cult members and partially because of the appeal cults have exerted on our young people. In this unique anthology of short stories, some of our ablest 20th-century writers examine the phenomenon of cults. Included are stories about cults of the distant past and those of the far future; cults that are realistic, preternatural, or supernatural; cult founders, leaders, and members; and cults whose aims are either good or evil. This collection features some well-known stories like "Children of the Corn" by Stephen King and Frank Harris's "The Miracle of the Stigmata." Other contributors include Erle Stanley Gardner, Katherine MacLean, Edwin L Savin, Leonard Kip, John Varley, and others.
