Seller: Type Punch Matrix, Silver Spring, MD, U.S.A.
Condition: Near fine. Evans, Graci (illustrator). First edition. A rare, earnest anti-Satanic children's book from the Age of Credulity. Entirely authentic, pseudo-therapeutic children's book "based on months of intensive research into the nature and practice of satanic ritual abuse." The religious publisher makes the wonderfully unfalsifiable claim that any child victimized by Satanic cults "will be able to relate to most of the scenes portrayed"; said scenes include hooded figures in witch-robes lighting candles, gazing at cemeteries, and most diabolically of all, carving pumpkins in October. Published in 1990, a full decade into the media phenomenon and shortly before the overdue decline and fall of its proponents' credibility, DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK shows its clear and very specific inspiration in its invocation of "the grown-ups at that day care center": the nebulous threat of Satanic cults drew its power from several coinciding cultural forces: rising fundamentalism; a public increasingly aware that child abuse did exist but unwilling to recognize its actual sources and perpetrators; and, not least, a contemporary backlash against feminism which imagined preschools and daycares into nightmare factories where the unfortunate children of working women would be, in all literal fact, tortured by demonic forces of darkness. A lurid remnant from a hell of a time. 8'' x 9''. Original pictorial boards. Seller Inventory # 44715
