Son Of The Morning by Joyce Carol Oates
A dark, intense novel that follows a young, charismatic would-be messiah who gathers disaffected followers and creates a cult in contemporary America; it probes the psychology of fanaticism, the seductive power of absolute belief, and how idealism can curdle into manipulation, violence, and disillusionment, while examining the social and personal forces that produce and sustain such destructive leadership.
