Review of Gareth Medway’s Lure of the Sinister: The Unnatural History of Satanism, skeptical [as am I] of this modern ‘epidemic’: “An alternative explanation is that, by the end of the 20th century, we had supped so full of extraordinary horrors that any evil was regarded as possible, and none could be ruled out of court. Contrary to what Mr Medway states, it is not the unknown that modern believers in Satan fear, but the known. They fear that science has removed Divine purpose and meaning from the universe. Better that Satan should exist than that life should be full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Telegraph UK
