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. 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 : About the Author: Frank Moorhouse is a pseudonym.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Satanism first began to penetrate popular culture in the sixties, 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 seventies. For some individuals the implications of the music were not enough. An underground cult movement began to emerge across the United Sates 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. Dismissed by judges as clinically insane, Moorhouse attempts to understand the disposition of the people that commit these disgusting and abhorable crimes, by returning back to their childhoods. Although this has always been a popular clique to rationalise the actions of the criminally insane, 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
