Welcome to Litsy!

Finishing off with mention of the West Memphis Three brings to earth all of the craziness that comes before. It‘s easy to look on the 80‘s/90‘s Satanic Panic as ridiculous/laughable with hindsight. Ultimately, people suffered, though. Those who were the ‘other‘ were persecuted needlessly. I suppose the only difference between then and now is who the ‘other‘ is.

The only way this protest could be more British is if they all sat down for a cup of tea and a biscuit during it 😂 ☕️ 🍪

This one smelled so great! It‘s the 🍑 emoji bath bomb from Lush. So cool! I‘m determined to finish this Satanic Panic book TODAY as I‘ve been reading it for ages.

Utter batshit 🤣😂🤣

I need this as a print in my house 😂😂😂

Well done Tipper Gore, you absolute tool.

So....He-Man was seen as a negative influence on children by the Christian Right?

Now there‘s a sentence I never thought I‘d write.

...and continued the day with new pyjamas, a mug of Costa Gingerbread Latte and a little chill time before crafting this evening ☕️👚🩳📕📘📗📙

Started my last day off work with a blackcurrant hippo from Lush with a mug of hot chocolate...🦛🫐🛁🛀🧼☕️

When I received this, my first thoughts were:

1. Wow, this is a heavy book for the size of it!
2. This book feels so nice (matte suedey-type cover with shiny bits)
3. This is going to be awesome.

I‘d just watched a true crime video about the West Memphis Three, so Satanic Panic was on my radar. Made a good start on it this morning, but now I have to actually do things, so shelving it until this evening. 😈 🐐 🩸 🗡

Great collection of essays about the causes and consequences of Satanic Panic. Filled with photos that bring the essays to life.

There‘s a chapter on Canadian satanic panic in this book. It‘s a very short, lackluster essay. Surely the 80‘s were more exciting in Canada than this!

How is it possible that this book has been out for three years and I‘m the first one to post?!?
Where all my #creeplife fiends? 🖤😈
