Book Description

January 1995
Reports persist that children and adults are being systematically abused during rituals with satanic overtones. Opinion is divided on the truth of the matter, and the divisions are acrimonious. Sceptics argue that ritual abuse is an imported myth, believed by the gullible and propagated by the hysterical. For this investigation, Andrew Boyd has stepped beyond the current cases to interview professional carers across Britain. Between them they claim to be counselling more than 600 victims of ritual abuse. Their detailed account plus in-depth statements by survivors are shocking in the extreme. Andrew Boyd is the author of "Broadcast Journalism: Techniques of Radio and TV News".

5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky!, January 13, 2000

This review is from: Blasphemous Rumors: Is Satanic Ritual Abuse Fact or Fantasy? an Investigation (Paperback)
Best book on satanic ritual abuse and Masonic cults... I have no idea why it's unavailable... It was published by Fount the UK subsidiary of HarperCollins... I found it in a discount bin for one dollar... I read the book twice and it's very creepy... I go to a lot of used book stores and when I was in Boise Idaho I traded it in for beer money and it was still on the shelf a year later so I bought it back... I guess it's just too unbelievably dark for some people to handle... The author does not proselytize... Well documented and it lists sources... Most satanic books try to shove the Christian agenda down your throat... This book just states the facts and it becomes completely believable... Do not read this book alone at night... There's some great eye witness accounts of human sacrifice, mind control, death threats, blackmail... drugs used to produce submission and buy loyalty from the addicted victims... This is an excerpt from the back cover... "Opinion is divided on the truth of the matter, and the divisions are acrimonious. Skeptics argue vehemently that ritual abuse is an imported myth, believed by the gullible and propagated by the hysterical... For his investigation, Andrew Boyd has stepped beyond the current cases to interview professional psychiatrists across Britain. Between them they claim to be counseling some 900 victims of ritual abuse. Their detailed accounts, coupled with in-depth statements by alleged survivors, are shocking in the extreme. Just as shocking is the remarkable coherence between them. Is it fact or fantasy that lies behind these blasphemous rumors?" Excellent book if you can find it... I bought it about five years ago and I've never seen another copy... Maybe the publishers got a late night phone call from one of Satan's minions...

4.0 out of 5 stars Important reading, August 22, 2001
This review is from: Blasphemous Rumors: Is Satanic Ritual Abuse Fact or Fantasy? an Investigation (Paperback)
My only disappointment -- and it wasn't the fault of the book or the author -- was that it was not about the U.S., although there certainly are connections. If you have doubts about satanic ritual/cult abuse, this book is a baseline for any kind of awareness. And there ARE connections between satanic ritual abuse and government mind control experimentation, sad as that may be. I read this book a while ago, but was not going to review it because it is out of print and I got it somewhere else...until I saw it reviewed here by somebody else. Let me add my voice to those who are also in the trenches digging this stuff up. Don't allow the voices to be silenced! Don't allow the secrets to be buried! As long as we do that, our children, future children, will remain at risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too Horrific To Be True?, September 18, 2004
By 
"skipzgal" (Natick,Ma. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blasphemous Rumors: Is Satanic Ritual Abuse Fact or Fantasy? an Investigation (Paperback)
If you are unsure if ritual abuse is fact or fantasy, this is the book to read. Andrew Boyd is very objective in covering his research findings. Most of the alleged abuse in this book took place in the U.K..However, there is information on alleged abuse that took place in other countries (such as the U.S). At the time that I write this review, Blasphemous Rumors is out of print. Nevertheless, I suggest getting your hands on this book if you have any questions on this topic.
