Counter Cult - Hardcover

by John Gross (Author)

Counter Cult follows Jury, a young man obsessed with founding a new religion without rules, restrictions, or a God. He offers his followers a belief system without barriers that can be shaped in their image. But as this fluid spirituality attracts a devoted (and volatile) following, deeper questions emerge: if a religion can be anything, does it have any meaning?

As the movement spreads, doubt fractures the group, and something darker exploits the cracks. A lurking presence grows stronger, while a ruthless journalist circles, eager to turn Jury's fragile vision into a payday. Part literary fiction, part psychological suspense, Counter Cult is a story of faith, identity, and the dangerous spaces between what we believe and what we fear.

Counter Cult blends literary fiction with magical realism in a chilling exploration of modern spirituality, ideological extremes, and the fine line between liberation and delusion.
