Daring to Speak of Darkness is a review of anti-cult literature by cult whistleblower Pierre S. Freeman. Freeman was trapped in the religious cult, AMORC, for twenty-six years. As a poor immigrant with most of his family still living in Haiti, Freeman could not afford professional counseling and was alone in his battle to break free from AMORC.Desperately torn when he discovered the French government had labeled AMORC a cult, Freeman began searching the Internet for help. He found a group of authors who had written lucid, clear, anti-cult literature. By reading their works, Freeman was able to slowly and painfully piece together the main cause of his lack of clarity: for decades he had been subject to covert mind control.Daring to Speak of Darkness pays homage to Margaret Thaler Singer and Stephen Hassan, as well as other writers like Janja Lalich, Robert Jay Lifton, and Madeline Tobias. It reviews some of the world's best anti-cult literature and applies their insights to AMORC. The book also highlights principles of indoctrination that cults of all kinds use. The authors of these anti-cult books risked much to take on powerful organizations and stop the tyranny of cult activities, including harassment, verbal and potential physical abuse, and even their own lives. They are truly those who dared to speak of darkness.

The Prisoner of San Jose, a memoir by Pierre S. Freeman, exposes the ancient mystical order of Rosæ Crucis, also known as AMORC, located in San Jose. AMORC recruited Freeman, a young engineering student in Haiti, and exposed him to twenty-four years of sustained indoctrination and mind control. Having no family or friends able to substantially help him, no exit psychologist, deprogrammer, or interventionist to guide him, Freeman methodically studied the cult experience, analyzing the mind control and hypnotic procedures that were affecting his life. The Prisoner of San Jose is about how Freeman deprograms himself and recovers the mental and emotional stability he lost twenty-four years earlier. Most importantly, the story is about hope, and how Freeman is finally able to reclaim the liberty of his own personality.
