FAQs
What kinds of books do you review?
Primarily nonfiction titles that describe a branch of Satanism or an academic overview of the religion as a whole. Classical fiction such as Paradise Lost and Revolt of the Angels may be included as regular or bonus episodes.
Will you review [title of book]? If so, when?
If it has anything to do with exploring Satanism, I will most likely review it. As to when, my current order of books is by the publishing date, so unless there is a special circumstance, it may take some time before I get to a requested title.
Where can I find the books you review?
As a librarian, my first answer is to check your local library followed by your local indie bookshop. Otherwise, check the show notes for each episode; I’ll list the website(s) where you can purchase your own copy.
Why do you call anyone who isn’t with the Church of Satan a Satanist?
Because that is what various groups call themselves. Much to Church of Satan’s dismay and aggravation, Satanism has been taken and adapted to encompass many different ideas and philosophies than what its founder, Anton LaVey, intended. Until Satanists who aren’t with CoS pick a different word for the religion, I will treat them as Satanists.
