Remembering Satan: A Tragic Case of Recovered Memory by Lawrence Wright

3.0

at the heart of this account is mass hysteria, a phenomenon that brings warmth to my heart. it's a fascinating story and i'm only giving it three stars because the ending left something to be desired. i think perhaps it was written a little too soon after the events unfolded and therefore lacked a satisfying follow up to what became of everyone involved as well as a broader perspective on how this story fits into american culture. wright does a good job providing context for the story but i wish he talked more about how this story might provide context for other events of mass hysteria.
