 Great read, but misleading title. February 21, 2002
Gareth Medway's book is an illumanating look at the Satanism, and Witchcraft scare that has plagued England, and the United States. Medway retells stories of supposed possessions, satanic activity, and other "evil" occurrences, and discounts the authenticity of these accounts. Even though he is biased in his presentation of some of the facts, his wit, and sense-of-humor emerges throughout the book. The title is misleading though because Medway does not really deal with the history of Satanism, instead with the hysteria surrounding it. His bibliography is also extensive for anyone interested in the occult. This book is ideal for those looking to examine if those stories we heard during the 80's of Satanic rituals in our backyards were true.

This book was boring. It took all I had to stay awake past the anecdotal tellings of witchcraft of past. This subject is a sensitive one, and I feel that it would be best told straight out, no running from the obvious as the author clearly has.
