This  book includes detailed accounts of  animal sacrifice, exorcisms and the  influence of Satanism in today's  world, from rock music and ritual  murders in the USA to black magic  ceremonies and other necromantic  practices worldwide. The Dark History  of the Occult examines  whether Satanic Forces are simply the emergence  of the dark side of  human nature, or whether we really do have something  to fear - namely,  evil.
