Description

Here's to My Sweet Satan: A Cultural Phenomenon The 1960s and 1970s saw a profound fascination with the Occult in America, which continues to influence popular culture today. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the era's fascination with the supernatural, weaving together diverse topics such as heavy metal, horror films, the New Age movement, and the serial killer Son of Sam. Cultural critic George Case examines how the Occult craze of this period had a lasting impact on American society, contributing to the rise of the religious right, false accusations of Satanic child abuse, and the rejection of science and rationality. By examining the intersection of pop culture and social history, Case sheds light on how the most technologically advanced society on earth became enthralled by the supernatural. This book offers a fascinating insight into the cultural landscape of the 1960s and 1970s, revealing how the Occult became a pervasive force in American culture.
