About this product

Product Information

We are informed by many sources - particularly journalists, police, and fundamentalists - that there exists a secret network of criminal fanatics who worship Satan and who are behind pornography, forced prostitution, and drug-dealing. Satanists engage in the sexual abuse and torture of children, human sacrifice, cannibalism, kidnapping, random murders, mutilation of pets and farm animals, desecration of churches, and vandalisation of cemeteries. This popular tale is almost entirely without foundation, and investigation has often uncovered the less colourful truth. But the legend continues to gather force, in the teeth of evidence and sense. Networks of child advocates , credulous or self-serving social workers, instant-expert police officers, and alarmist preachers help to spread the panic, along with largely fictional survivors' accounts and sensational broadcast documentaries. Dr Victor has researched the dynamics, the background and the causes of this contemporary witch-scare, showing in detail how unsubstantiated rumour can be turned into fact , and exploring the social and psychological causes of the scare, which include the perceived moral crisis in American society, the money and power gained by groups combatting imaginary Satanism, and the continuing reverberations of medieval folklore.

    As usual, this seller is completely trustworthy: the book was as described, terrific value, arrived very swiftly from America, well packaged and safe. It was an old library book, but in great condition and appearance, and there can be no criticism, simply thanks and praise for a job well done.

    Book as specified (and in good condition), fast delivery (from USA to UK), and a reasonable price for the book. The book appears to have been procured and shipped via a third party. One point of constructive criticism: I feel it would be helpful to try to work with the associate book-selling businesses (third party shippers) that you work with, to ensure that higher-value books are shipped in better quality packaging, and in particular, cardboard packaging.
