Satanism is a current of thought that generates intense feelings. It remains understudied by academics. This selection of key source texts from the period 1841 to 2017 attempts to remedy that gap. Ranging from the esoteric to the anti-clerical, countercultural, and political, the texts span a wide variety of genres, from poetry and polemical religious tracts to ritual instructions and internet FAQ's. All are provided with comprehensive introductions, written by specialists in the field, that offer readers both critical historical context and expert scholarly interpretation.

Chronologically structured, the book can be read as a succinct historical overview of the development of Satanism, with the immediacy that only primary sources can provide. It is ideal for both classroom and research use, as well as a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in the occult, the transgressive, secularization, and the fringes of the religious landscape.

Industry Reviews
"Satanism: A Reader shows strong potential as a pedagogical tool... This would be ideal for training undergraduates to use a comparative approach for textual analysis." -- Joseph Laycock, Reading Religion "Satanism: A Reader is conceived as a companion for a course on Satanism, its clear structure and captivating subject make this volume an ideal resource for anyone seeking to seriously understand Satanism and its significance in modern culture." -- Davide Marino, Religious Studies Review "I fully recommend this reader to educators and popular readers alike. It is an excellent resource due to its consistent structure, transparency in scope, and succinct contextualization. It is informative and well-researched." -- William S. Chavez, Project MUSE
