The Dark History of the Occult: Magic, Madness and Murder

Paul Roland

2.5

dark mysterious medium-paced

This book was interesting enough, but I feel like everything in it should be taken with a grain of salt. There were claims made without any sources to make them up, and the source list at the back of the book was...concerningly short, considering all the topics talked about. Quite a few instances of archaic and not politically correct language on the part of the author (not when quoting from someone else). Overall, meh - interested more in the secret societies or history of witchcraft aspects, and the author pretty much only talked about Satanism...the book read like a long essay with random sections about why Satanism isn't bad 🤷
