No. Writing about evil cults can be dangerous as it may inadvertently promote their ideas or give them a platform, even if the intention is to expose or condemn them.
Yes, if it's for the purpose of creating a moral lesson. For instance, in fairy tales, evil witches or villains are used to teach good values by showing the contrast between good and bad.
I'm not aware of any positive or justifiable stories from sex cults as they are extremely harmful and unethical institutions. Usually, if there are any 'accounts' it might be about coercion, abuse, and the loss of personal freedom. But it's important to note that sex cults are illegal and immoral, and we should not promote or give them any form of positive light.
If you want to write a novel with ten evil spirits, you can consider the following names:
1 Ghost
2 Ghosts
3 Ghosts
4 Ghost King
Ghost Wolf
Ghost Shadow Doppelganger
Ghost Feet (7)
Ghost Butterfly
Ghost King Butterfly
Ghost Butterfly Shadow
These names were the images of evil spirits in traditional Chinese culture. They were representative and interesting, and could also be adapted and combined according to their own creativity. However, in the process of writing, he had to pay attention to copyright and copyright issues to ensure that his work was legal.
Cults in fiction are often portrayed as secretive and controlling groups. They usually have a charismatic leader who manipulates the members. For example, in many horror novels, cults are involved in dark rituals.
One example could be 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. It depicts a dystopian society with elements that can be related to cult - like control. The regime in the story enforces strict rules on women's bodies and their roles in society, which shows how extreme beliefs can lead to a form of oppression similar to cults.
Yes, there are some cults in 'American Horror Story' (AHS) that are based on true stories. For example, the cult in some seasons may draw inspiration from real - life cults in history. These real - life cults often have elements such as a charismatic but controlling leader, strange beliefs, and practices that isolate members from the outside world.
It depends. If you feel confident enough to jump straight into a novel, then you don't necessarily need to write short stories first. However, short stories can offer valuable experience. They can help you gain a better understanding of pacing, for example. In a short story, you have to make every word count, and this sense of economy can be useful when you're writing a novel. But if you have a clear vision for a novel from the start, you might be able to develop those skills while writing the novel itself.
Books about cults fiction usually depict a restricted or warped sense of reality. Take '1984' for example. The Party controls all information, and people are made to accept 'doublethink'. This shows how a cult - like entity can manipulate the perception of truth. They also may include the idea of a false utopia, where on the surface everything seems perfect but in reality, it's a place of oppression.
Stephen King's 'Misery' can also be considered. The relationship between the deranged fan Annie and the writer Paul is somewhat cult - like. Annie's extreme actions to keep Paul captive and force him to write according to her wishes show a form of obsessive and controlling behavior similar to cults.
