In the murky world of claims and counterclaims over the danger of the occult, Medway's patient documentation of verifiable facts is welcome indeed. He makes a convincing case for seeing modern cult-busters as using the same strategies that were notorious during the witch trials of the 1600s." -- Bill Ellis,author of Raising the Devil: Satanism, New Religions, and the Media "This scholarly, provocative and wide-ranging book is the clearest and wisest yet written on Satanism." -- Ronald Hutton,University of Bristol "The first truly authoritative book on the subject." * New York Press,Nov. 14-20, 2001 * "Seeks to debunk the outlandish accusations leveled against Pagan practices by irresponsible journalists, overzealous evangelists and outright liars. . . .Convincing"Publishers Weekly"A breath of fresh air and common sense . . . should be compulsory reading for clergy, therapists, [and] tabloid journalists." * The Catholic Herald *
