Re: Le-gîon & The Other Side of Suicide
“Re: Le-gîon & The Other Side of Suicide” is an autobiography of a cult upbringing; decades of unspeakable horror and harrowing escape! Life denied under guise of a holiness uglier than sin; trapped among religious zealots drunken with control.
Witness to egregious inhumanity not limited to mental/sexual/spiritual abuse of minors through elderly, mind control/manipulation, blackmail/extortion, grand larceny, drugging, human trafficking, cult sanctioned rape, even perversion eliciting suicide.
A sinister sect wherein serving “God” invokes dire consequence for those which disobey; programmed martyr for cause! To wit, an order of misogynist hypocrites wherein women are covered, blacks damned from birth, gays muzzled - then punished!
There’s also a bad part - account not for the faint.

I don't like to go too much into the plot in my reviews so I'm just gonna touch on it. We meet the protagonist as a teenager while he's witnessing a brutal killing of a pig on his grandfather's farm in Serbia. He is indoctrinated into a cult where music, dancing, reading books, any form of art is strictly forbidden. As the author describes his relatives he names them Gypsies on several occasions. There are Gypsies in Serbia, but they respect their animals have immense love for their horses, and they love music and dancing. The writing style resembles that of free form poetry. This took me a bit of getting used to but before I knew it, I was on chapter 10. Chapters are short, about two pages on average, some shorter. From this musing, a story of hardships and ill-treatment emerges. Life was bad in the cult, but once he left it, things got even worse. Shunned and alone, with no education and no prospect of employment, living on the streets was his only option. But everything in life turns and so luck smiled down on him too.
