This book hit that spot for me and while there was a monster from beyond the stars directing things sort of behind the scenes, the scariest monsters in the book were the ones that the protagonists knew and had lived next door to, even shared meals with. I have also studied a little about mob mentality and how logic and reasoning go out the window when that takes over. Whenever I hear or read about some group of religious nuts that believe this or are doing that and I tell myself that people can't really believe in shit like that I have to remind myself that Jim Jones got people to willingly drink cyanide and even give it to their children and of people like David Koresh who get other people to do the craziest shit in the name of some religion or another. Religious zealotry scares the crap out of me.
