Items related to Satanic Killings
The six-six-Sixties were the Devil's Decade. With its heady cocktail of glamour and gore, it’s no wonder dissatisfied youth have been drawn back to those years time and time again in search of inspiration – mostly artistic, some diabolical. The dark side of that swinging decade saw the rise of Satanism in popular culture: Mick Jagger penned “Symphony for the Devil’ and the Rolling Stones released the album, ‘Their Satanic Majesties Request’, while Anton La Vey, the founder of the Church of Satan, appeared as the devil in the movie “Rosemary’s Baby”. Meanwhile, another cult had begun recruiting for new members: Charles Manson was finding his ‘Family’. Then in 1969 all hell broke loose...
Even as the Sixties ended in flames, the attendant black smoke formed new shapes for Satan to inhabit and still more powerful envoys to spread his word.
Following the rise of Satanism through the Sixties to today, Frank Moorhouse examines the key cases and delves into the lives of the perpetrators, searching for the events that could have driven them to commit such horrific acts. Rather than simply criticize and condemn, Moorehouse remains open-minded as he trawls through the carnage left by some of the world’s most terrifying killers.

Review:
"Any reader of true crime nonfiction should have the well-reasoned SATANIC KILLINGS: it follows the rise of Satanism from early times to the 1960s, with a focus on satanic killings and why they occur. Moorehouse worked on keeping an open mind as he surveyed such killings: his discussion include sociological analysis, religious inspection and surveys of the changing role of violence in society as he examines the beliefs and motivations behind satanic killings."--Midwest Book Review

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. A copy that would be fine accept for A piiece missing from the back cover otherwise find with unmarked pages. Size: 23.4 x 16 x 2.5 cm. 288 pages. When Satanism first began to penetrate popular culture in the 1960's, through the lyrics of The Beatles and The Stones, it was intended as a harmless rebellion against conventional society. Yet, inevitably, this encouraged more radical extremes to follow, with Black and Death Metal bands becoming wide spread over the 1970's. For some individuals the implications of the music were not enough. An underground cult movement began to emerge across the USA and Europe. A haven for the loners, rejects and social misfits, these cults endorsed the hero-worshiping of vicious murders and notorious criminals, elevating them to an iconic status, and immortalizing them in the memories of each generation. But, it is where this morbid fascination makes the violent transition into murder, mutilation, necrophilia and rape that Moorhouse has chosen to investigate. Moorhouse attempts to understand the disposition of the people that commit these disgusting and abhorrent crimes, most of the case studies examined here did prove to have an abusive or tormented childhood. Rather than criticize and condemn, Moorhouse remains open-minded, as he trawls through the carnage left by some of the most dangerous and unpredictable killers in history. : Review: "Any reader of true crime nonfiction should have the well-reasoned SATANIC KILLINGS: it follows the rise of Satanism from early times to the 1960s, with a focus on satanic killings and why they occur.
