Looking for a specific book...

[_Janny_]

I read this book a long time ago, but I can't for the life of me remember the title. It's not a particularly good book, but it's bugging me for some reason. Anyway, I'm really hoping someone here can help me find it, so here's a short description of what I still remember:

Spoiler

A man is suspicious about this lady's interest in a questionable cult, and her worried family ask him to investigate. The guy is skeptical, but joins the cult anyway. The leader of the cult tries his mumbo jumbo on him, and actually makes the vision of the protagonist's dead father appear before him. Then stuff goes a little psychedelic and the main character starts seeing men with goat heads and other weird things like people getting killed.

I don't recall anything else other than the protagonist trying to explain all this to the police, but no one believing him. And I think the lady who got him into this ends up dead.

And for the sake of discussion value... have you ever read a book that made you go "woah!", changed the way you see things or made you question them?

I have no idea what your looking for but I was actually praying that is wasn't going to end up being "The Library". I'm not joking, every copy of that book should be burned without pity.

That being said there were a few that opened my eyes. "Watchmen" and "The Sandman" series changed the way I saw both comics and literature. As much of a cheap airport book that it was, "Angels & Demons" did bring up some rather insighful points that lead to my own investigations and later my own spiritual views.

Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles", reading that was like being on acid. Somethings gone funny when you comprehend phrases like "a full-on, tibetan, sci-fi vision of all spacetimemind as a single complexifying iteration which is the larval form of a 5th dimensional adult entity."

Ahhh Grant. He's always good for a mind fuck.

Yeah and "The Filth" that wasn't exactly trippy, but some of that stuff I wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams.
