Another Christian Talking about Satanism

While this book has facts about various people associated with the Occult and Satanism, it ultimately portrays a religious bias rooted in superstition. The early chapters clearly venerate Christian Theology in place of serious Satanic analysis, while later chapters conflate Serial Killers with Satanism (as if Christian serial killers don't exist). It's classic Satanic Panic and limits the books research, which is itself very eurocentric and selective about "what is evil". Strangely, the book just stops after listing of various cases of serial murders as if it made a point (which is deeply dishonest).

Overall, this book is typical Christian propaganda that only scratches the surface of Satanism, the Occult, and non-Christian religion.
