Guardians of the Lamb — Chapter 18

Wow, Guardians of the Lamb Chapter 17 really struck a nerve with readers! 🤯 The intense focus on the creepy cult operating within the story sparked some seriously strong reactions.

Many commenters felt disturbed by the realistic portrayal of brainwashing, manipulation, and how easily vulnerable people can fall into these schemes. It hit close to home for several readers who shared thoughts on how cults operate in the real world, preying on those at their lowest points and profiting off them. Some even drew unsettling parallels to real-life groups, from Heaven's Gate uniforms to Scientology-like structures. 😨

Adding a psychological layer, one reader speculated that the "demons" seen by the children might not be literal but rather symbolic representations of extreme violence and trauma, viewed through a child's distorted perspective – a fascinating point! 🤔 There's also speculation about which character might be the "goat kind of demon."

Overall, while the subject matter is deeply unsettling, readers were enthralled by the chapter's impact, praising the author for creating a depiction that feels terrifyingly real and grounded. It definitely made people think (and maybe shiver a little)! ✨
