It really is unsettling. Cults are extremely strange, and for those who are safely outside them it seems so unreasonable that anyone could be hoodwinked by them. Of course, here, there is some supernatural element at play, but yes...it is strange and unsettling just the same.
Hah! Interestingly enough, though I know you were just making a joke, here...I watched an interview with one of the very few surviving members of the Jonestown Massacre by the name of Tim Carter (I used his first name for "Tim" the guy who man's the guard shack in the story). One of the things he said in the interview stayed with me...he said something like, "No one joins a CULT. They join a church, or a community group, or a self-help organization...etc." Those inside the cult never see it as that. It's part of the cult-mindset. Heh. And it's also true with The Kindred....poor things. They don't see it for what it is.
