Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

The Satanism Scare

by James T. Richardson, Joel Best & David G. Bromley · James T. Richardson, Joel Best & David G. Bromley (eds.)

An edited volume of sociological, historical and folkloric studies on the 1980s fear of Satanic cults. Contributors examine media coverage, law enforcement, adolescent legend-tripping, heavy metal, survivor stories and the historical precedents of subversion myths. One of the earliest academic responses to the panic, it remains a valuable collection for students of new religions and moral panics.
