Beskrivning
This book constitutes a timely and necessary intervention in the academic study of Satanism. At the same time, the book also constitutes a vital addition to the field of Gothic and Horror Studies. Although recent years have witnessed a revival of interest in figures such as the witch, the zombie and the vampire, Satan and his acolytes have been largely ignored (aside from where they overlap with the witch). This volume seeks to address this lacuna in Gothic Studies by examining how Satanism—particularly as it relates to issues of gender and sexuality—has shaped both the aesthetic and thematic content of horror media over the past half century.

Recensioner i media

Wicked witches, hexing housewives, and persecuted Puritans! The trope of the Satanic witch has been approached as both a misogynistic tool of control and a source of forbidden empowerment. These essays skillfully dissect the significance of the Satanic woman as reflected and refracted across literature, television, film, and music. Joseph P. Laycock, associate professor of religious studies at Texas State University.
