Satanism is popularly associated with hedonism and horror, but
there are concrete facts which actually surround the practice of
Satanism, and this reference gathers together scholarly studies of
Satanism along with original source material to survey its history and
practices. Both historic and modern Satanism are covered in a survey
which discusses its practices, common misbeliefs, and modern concerns
such as the role of the media in Satanistic coverage. An outstanding
sourcebook and a 'must' for any library where Satanism and
alternative beliefs are covered.
