The New Satanists (1994) by Linda Blood is a non-fiction exposé that claims to document a growing, organized network of dangerous Satanic cults. Written from the perspective of a former cult member, the book alleges that these groups are responsible for serious criminal activities, including ritualistic abuse of children, drug trafficking, prostitution, and murder. Despite criticism regarding its lack of hard evidence, The New Satanists is considered a significant text within the literature of the 1980s-90s "Satanic Panic" movement.
