Eric (Formerly Known As Nigel) Explores Cults!

One of Eric's (formerly  known as Nigel) guilty pleasures over on YouTube is Emma Kenny and her "murder" channel, after seeing her giving her expert insight in various documentaries over the years, so when he found out that she was in Worcester talking about Killer Cults, well, it would have been rude not to avail himself of an overnight stay and a ticket.

We sent him off in very excited mood, to see if she was as good in real life as she is on the tele.

Let's just say the little fella was not disappointed.  She must have spoken for at least two and a half hours (with a short interval) and all the time, he said he was held spellbound in a far from fairy tale type way, often taken aback and shocked by the influence a cult leader could have, no matter how weird their beliefs .......

....... learning, by the end, that he too could very easily fall prey to the call of the cult (but obviously not of the killer variety), despite being totally convinced all the way through, that he never would (but we're not giving any spoiler alerts away) .......

 

From now on, he told us later, he will certainly be on his mettle as to any persuasive persuasion used upon any perceived vulnerability he might have!

Then it was on to the merch, where unfortunately, the indisputably fragrant Ms Kenny's sweat/T shirts don't come in Eric size .........

However, as an even greater fan than he had been before, he decided to treat himself to her book "The Serial Killer Next Door", which had been personally signed. Perhaps not the best tome for bedtime reading, but instead, he said he'd keep it for the afternoons when it was still light and he wasn't needed for the school run.

He would have loved to have stayed back and meet Ms Kenny in person afterwards, but he was frightened he'd let himself down by spluttering and getting his words out wrong and embarrassing himself in her presence!  What on earth is he like?
