The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti.

He's pretty famed for his fiction but this is probably the scariest thing he's ever written as it's a rather compelling non fiction book that argues, rather persuasively, that consciousness is an insurmountable horror for humanity and it would have been better had we never experienced it.

The central premise is that Life is Not OK and having read it, it's sort of hard to disagree if you're of a certain mindset.

Probably not the thing to read if you've ever harboured suicidal thoughts.

Anyone know of any cult related horror novels that were good? I'm looking to do some fictional research, as it's a subject that scares the hell out of me from the non-fiction I've read.

The Nightmare Girl by Jonathan Janz.

This book creeped me the hell out. It's the first I read of his but it was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad it was.

The premise is pretty plausible, which makes it worse.
