Surprisingly good book September 13, 2005

This book was very good. It didn't go over urban legends, but instead described the evolution of Occult Crime teams through their first hand accounts of the crimes that prompted the creation of the teams. Very informative, and also gives interesting details that differentiate between occult oriented lunatics, dangerous Satanic groups, more benign groups (both satanic and pagan), and using the occult as a cover for simple sex or insanity motivated crimes.

This is it. This is the book that documents and backs up a lot of the other information I have been sharing up to now... It may be difficult to create the hard evidence that would hold up in a court of law. Ritual and cult abuse are designed that way. The information does come together in a way that cannot be refuted by anyone capable of common sense. These things are happening, they are happening now, and they are getting worse. The only thing this book leaves out are the political connections of those involved. My web site and the links it includes does not. Be cautious. The information in this book is very triggering, and if you have any of it in your background or think you do there will be feelings. If you don't think you do, it will far easier, and safer, (for you anyway) to dismiss the entire thing out of hand. In the short run, that is. In the long run, we all have to pay attention to the phenomenon and the history of ritual and cult abuse...before it's too late for any of us.
 Filled with lies, slander, and BS November 28, 2000

After reading this book, I was utterly shocked at how anyone could write this tripe, let alone publish it. I cannot imagine anyone who reads this not feeling greatly insulted and "taken" by the author.This book makes a huge number of claims, and provides no evidence to support those claims. The book lacks any data that one can use to research the claims--- a deliberate deception. I spent a dollar on this book, and I feel like I have been cheated out of that dollar. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME READING THIS ...! ...
A superb non-fiction title. December 30, 1999

I read this book about 9 months ago for a research paper that I did on the negative effects of Satanism on American society. I remember being very engrossed in the book. It was well written and clearly explained all of the reasons people like that are out there, what they are "looking" for, and the rituals that Satanists partake in. This book definetely shows that many years of research were put into it to write and that Mr. Kahaner is good at what he does. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in this subject, or just looking for something different to read about.
