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.
