Satanic Panic: The Creation Of A Contemporary Legend

Explores the sociological dymanics underpinning the contemporary fear of satanism. The author shows how rumour can turn into "facts"; how groups set up to combat the satanism gain power and money; how the scare mirrors a moral crisis in America; and the continued effect of medieval folklore.
