Synopsis: Mutilated animals. Defaced tombstones. Sexual abuse in daycare centers. Is America threatened by a satanic conspiracy? In this book, Robert D. Hicks exposes law enforcement's obsessive preoccupation with Satanism as a model for criminal behavior. While satanic belief has played a part in crimes ranging from petty vandalism to serial murders, Hicks avows that there is no substantial evidence for the existence of a nationwide satanic crime continuum. Hicks points out that the satanic criminal model is expedient largely due to its simplicity and economy, reducing to simple formulas such complex problems as drug abuse, teen suicide, and sexual molestation. His research utilizes a unique blend of law-enforcement methodology, anthropology, folklore, history, sociology, psychology and psychiatry. He attributes the cult conspiracy theory to beliefs fueled by Christian fundamentalist sects and to the ungovernable mechanisms of rumor-panics, subversive mythology, and urban legend. In Pursuit of Satan documents examples of rumor-panics in which the police have fomented fear by attributing crimes to Satanists, indulging in sheer speculation and promulgating misinformation through the sensationalist news media. Hicks examines the construction of the satanic ideology among law enforcement officials, focusing on the exploitation of Satanism as a new scapegoat for public fears and addressing the phenomenon of credulity among police forces and allied professionals in social work, psychiatry, and psychology.

In the public imagination Satanism is associated with bizarre rituals, perverse hedonistic lifestyles, heavy metal music, immature adolescents acting out, horror movies, and rumors of ritual abuse. But what are the facts behind the urban legends and the "moral panics" that periodically sweep the country regarding this countercultural phenomenon? This authoritative reference work gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism and original source material, focusing on two major aspects--organized religious Satanism and the Satanic Ritual Abuse hoax that was prevalent in the 1980s and early 1990s. The contributors first examine modern Satanism, a decentralized movement whose only coherence is based on certain themes that date back to the writings of Anton Szandor LaVey, especially his Satanic Bible. Among other factors, the authors discuss how the emergence of the Internet as a form of communication has created some coherence among disparate groups through cross-reference. Many articles are devoted to the Satanic Ritual Abuse scare, an erroneous belief in a vast underground network of Satanists who were abusing children. For years members of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists, encouraged by the hype of mass media, bought into this panic. Other topics include the role of the media in the perceptions of Satanism and Satanic Ritual Abuse, juvenile delinquency and Satanism, and police pursuit of satanic crime. The volume concludes with primary source material, including a report from the Ritual Abuse Task Force and selections from current Satanism groups. This objective reference work will be useful for professionals in many fields and members of the public interested in sorting out the facts from the myths surrounding this controversial subculture.

Satanism is too often misunderstood as a religion that makes blood sacrifices to an evil, horned Prince of Darkness. In reality, modern Satanists are nonviolent and nontheistic, and consider the Devil to be a meaningful metaphor for the pursuit of knowledge, reason, and justice. The Little Book of Satanism details the 'mark of the beast' in cultural and historic movements over the centuries, which have informed the sincerely held beliefs and practices of Satanists today, and explains how Satanism developed in the context of social history while debunking conspiracy theories about serial killers and ritual abuse.

Satan in America tells the story of America's complicated relationship with the devil. "New light" evangelists of the eighteenth century, enslaved African Americans, demagogic politicians, and modern American film-makers have used the devil to damn their enemies, explain the nature of evil and injustice, mount social crusades, construct a national identity, and express anxiety about matters as diverse as the threat of war to the dangers of deviant sexuality. The idea of the monstrous and the bizarre providing cultural metaphors that interact with historical change is not new. Poole takes a new tack by examining this idea in conjunction with the concerns of American religious history. The book shows that both the range and the scope of American religiousness made theological evil an especially potent symbol. Satan appears repeatedly on the political, religious, and cultural landscape of the United States, a shadow self to the sunny image of American progress and idealism.

From Benjamin Franklin's newspaper hoax that faked the death of his rival to Abbie Hoffman’s attempt to levitate the Pentagon, pranksters, hoaxers, and con artists have caused confusion, disorder, and laughter in Western society for centuries. Profiling the most notorious mischief makers from the 1600s to the present day, Pranksters explores how “pranks” are part of a long tradition of speaking truth to power and social critique. Invoking such historical and contemporary figures as P.T. Barnum, Jonathan Swift, WITCH, The Yes Men, and Stephen Colbert, Kembrew McLeod shows how staged spectacles that balance the serious and humorous can spark important public conversations. In some instances, tricksters have incited social change (and unfortunate prank blowback) by manipulating various forms of media, from newspapers to YouTube. For example, in the 1960s, self-proclaimed “professional hoaxer” Alan Abel lampooned America’s hypocritical sexual mores by using conservative rhetoric to fool the news media into covering a satirical organization that advocated clothing naked animals. In the 1990s, Sub Pop Records then-receptionist Megan Jasper satirized the commodification of alternative music culture by pranking the New York Times into reporting on her fake lexicon of “grunge speak.” Throughout this book, McLeod shows how pranks interrupt the daily flow of approved information and news, using humor to underscore larger, pointed truths. Written in an accessible, story-driven style, Pranksters reveals how mischief makers have left their shocking, entertaining, and educational mark on modern political and social life.

Communities throughout the United States were convulsed in the 1980s and early 1990s by accusations, often without a shred of serious evidence, that respectable men and women in their midst—many of them trusted preschool teachers—secretly gathered in far reaching conspiracies to rape and terrorize children. In this powerful book, Debbie Nathan and Mike Snedeker examine the forces fueling this blind panic.

Over the years, I have searched high and low for literary works in which elaborate on the repercussions associated with “Satanic Magic.” I have yet to discover a book in which satisfies this never-ending pursuit. In my book, “In the World of Madness,” you may stumble upon some topics to your liking. Much of this book contains “food for thought,” as well first-hand experiences through the practice of Satanic Ritual. Philosophy permeates through the pages, while undefiled wisdom follows suit. My work may be especially useful for those who are gravitated towards the Dark Arts, who have recently labeled “Satanism” their lifestyle. I wrote this book originally for myself, for my own self-satisfaction. Now is the time to redirect the flow. Thus, I pass down these writings to the “Children of Darkness,” born to embrace the black flame.

Satan's Disciples is essentially a metaphysical thriller and a crime novel dealing with the nature of evil and the spiritual cost of revenge. The plot involves an Albuquerque Times investigative reporter named Michael O'Brien who is shot in at LAX by a young madman targeting TSA agents. He develops PTSD and spends his convalescence trying to understand why it happened. In his research of random shootings and murders of innocent people in incidents like the Son of Sam murders, the Navy Yard shootings, Sandy Hook, the Aurora Mall and others, he discovers that satanic influence links many of the mass murderers. As he recovers and is ready to return to work, he gets permission from his editor to expose the hidden Satanism going on in New Mexico. To do so, he infiltrates the Devils Disciples motorcycle gang. He witnesses a Black Mass and tries to prevent the ritual human sacrifice of a teenage girl which blows his cover and propels the reader on a fast paced, intense pursuit of the victim, the gang members and O'Brien himself. The fast-moving plot and colorful characters reveal the hidden pervasiveness of Satanic cults in America, the evil underbelly of outlaw motorcycle clubs, the ruthlessness of the cartels, the invisible black market for kidnapped babies, and the ineptitude of the FBI, the Border Patrol and local police in dealing with smart and ruthless criminals. On a psychological level, Michael O'Brien leads us through the suffering and post-traumatic stress of being an innocent shooting victim, his intellectual quest to know if God or the Devil really exist, his anxious attempt to prevent a murder by a satanic motorcycle gang, and the spiritual bankruptcy he experiences as he wades deeper into his mission of revenge against the miscreants who destroyed his life.
