Description
Master of the macabre Dennis Wheatley’s story, according to the jacket blurb of 1960, is “not for the squeamish. But the full horror of Satanism, and its menace to the innocently curious who dabble in the occult, can be disclosed to the public in no other way.” The Satanist is the story of a young man and woman who are prepared to acquiesce in appalling blasphemies and take part in horrific sexual rites in order to penetrate a Satanic circle in an attempt to solve a foul and brutal murder. The man, Barney Sullivan, is a secret agent who, horrified by the death of one of his colleagues, becomes involved in the bestialities of the Devil while investigating Communist activities which threaten the security of the West; the girl, Mary Morden, has a past which enables her to put moral scruples aside – as she knows she must if she is to triumph over evil and bring the Devil worshippers to justice. This is the Book Club edition issued with the first edition in 1960.
