“The Edge of Evil: The Rise of Satanism in North America” by Jerry Johnston

"The Edge of Evil: The Rise of Satanism in North America" by Jerry Johnston

"Only the goofiest of goofy conspiracy theories straight out of the 1980s satanic panic, when every kid listening to Slayer or Iron Maiden was suspected to be a closet devil worshiper.

Jerry Johnston actually walks a middle path in this book. He tells of his trips across the country, checking out some cases where Satanic ritual or sacrifices allegedly took place, and delves into the psychology of Satan worship. His final conclusion is that if you want to keep your kids from getting into serious trouble (of any kind), then you actually need to do some parenting."
