no stars. garbage. I googled all the cases she mentions and lots of people were in jail for decades over BS. Look up 'Satanic Panic' in Wikipedia and the day care abuse hysteria too.

[Christina Engela · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book perpetuates sensationalist “Satanic ritual abuse” (SRA) narratives and moral panic surrounding Christian perceptions of Satanism, and not a scholarly source. There is no indication that the author of this book is an academic, an accredited researcher, or has a scholarly career; rather, she seems to be a writer focused on topics related to Satanism and occult phenomena.

In this sensationalist book, Linda Blood presents an SRA narrative from the perspective of an alleged “cult survivor” and conflates things which have nothing to do with religious Satanism (NRM) with Satanism (i.e. Aleister Crowley, Charles Manson, various criminal practices, etc.).

“The New Satanists” lacks the methodological rigor expected of professional guidance on identifying abuses in that it makes broad sensationalist claims without providing any evidence, and operates from an evangelicalist Christian anti-Satanism activist perspective. In short, dear readers, it's for entertainment purposes only - that is, if Christian fantasy is your thing.

Absolutely insane history of satanism in the 20th century. I’m sure it’s not all verified buts it’s fun as hell to read. The Micheal Aquino case is particularly interesting

Jesus Bo-Peep has lost his sheep, what the hell can he do? Suffer, beg, & cry as usual. Off went the wolf's food on two legs into the wilderness, braying like an idiot, as glowing eyes & scraping claws peered from the shadows, all this oblivious to the moronic fluff ball, who actually sought the predator's lair.

Here's the latest biased, prejudicial, presumptuous, & ill-informed disasterpiece from another one of those gutless, self-traumatizing weaklings, who, inevitably, finds herself amongst others of her loathsome kindred.

Seldom, if ever, does she take responsibility for her own actions. Throughout this tale of self-wrought victimization, misdirected masochism, & delusion, "Linda Blood" {a waste of a good name} goes on critiquing Satanism with a watered-down malevolence that only a blindlighter could conjure. Obviously, her aversion towards Satanic Philosophy reinforces her fear of reality, as they all persist in their fantasy-neurosis. Their propaganda is far more dangerous in OUR hands than it could ever be in theirs. Blast it all back into their land of osmosis, where their lies shall be exposed in their own garish light, humiliating & debasing them all.

I found nothing really new or interesting within the tripe, just recycled misinformation, much of which she scraped off of Carl Raschke's book, 'Painted Black' - more cannon fodder, incidentally. Upon digesting this fast-food of inferior "literature", more was excreted than was useful. At least the cover is rather attractive, something else, no doubt, that "lindy" had minimal input in.

If you decide to pick up this testimonial of a reject, be sure to use gloves & a pooper-scooper. As one peruses, you may find yourself wanting to do something retributional, I think you know what to do.....
