She believes she’s been chosen to spread the influence of a dark god through The Harmony Technique. Emma is a kickboxing instructor who struggles to make ends meet.

Aliyah’s Harmony Technique has gained popularity among LA influencers and social climbers, but Emma sees an opportunity to expand. Together, they create From The Heart, a cult in the heart of downtown LA. Emma and Aliyah promise to free their followers from pain, but it turns out Aliyah has darker intentions. As Aliyah feeds her worst impulses for control, Emma struggles to restrain her, desperate to use the power of the cult for good.Each woman has to decide how far she’s willing to go to get what she wants, and how much she’s willing to sacrifice on the altar of ambition. For fans of Killing Eve comes a dark examination of devotion, power, and longing, I’m Your Cult Leader, Baby is about the desire for ascendance—and what it can cost.

Recensioner i media

"Sartre's No Exit meets Camus' Caligula in a city with half a million cameras where no one has ever been seen. And when the door opens, nobody leaves. Vicious and very funny, Autumn Christian's writing runs hot but stays in total control, right down to the comma in the title. A comma is where the reader breathes, and this is a novel about who gets to decide when you do. By the time the humor curdles into horror, "I'll take care of everything" becomes the most frightening sentence in the book." —Alexander Boldizar, author of The Man Who Saw Seconds"A hard book to read. It challenges the reader at every turn. The protagonist and the antagonist are yin and yang. They swirl around in a depraved, deadly, ruthless dance until they merge into one entity. You want to turn away, but you are compelled to continue. Devastating and true. Bravo." —Daniel Knauf, creator of Carnivàle"I’m Your Cult Leader, Baby reads like some magnificent slow motion car crash unfolding in front of you. You see all the dark, awful ways it can go horribly wrong, but it compels you to keep watching until the end. A beautifully dark and moody tale about finding your place in the world versus carving out your place in it. Alluring and dangerous.” —Peter Clines, author of God’s Junk Drawer"Yet again, Autumn Christian has restored my faith in contemporary fiction. The apex between credibility and absurdity is Christian's sweet spot, and this ride is no different—expertly done. Fanaticism, loneliness, purpose, and the WTF of our age.  —Peter Rosch, author of What the Dead Can Do"A vicious, nasty satire on the emptiness of excess. It digs its stiletto nails into gurus, influencers, and the search for something real in a superficial world. Like a cult, first it will seduce you, then it will hurt you, and when you make it out the other side, it just might leave you a little wiser." —Greg Sisco, author of Thicker Than Water"Autumn Christian deftly taps into the dark vein of Los Angeles and reveals the glitter, glam, and suffering within. She pulls you into a suffocating narrative and convinces you to dance despite seeing yourself bleed out. I’m Your Cult Leader, Baby is a masterful novel full of power dynamics, vanity, desperation, and gods." —Grant Wamack, author of The Frolicking
