Ná herhaaldelike polisiebrouwerk begin kaptein Ben Booysen die Krugersdorp-moorde in 2016 manalleen ondersoek.
Booysen haal koerantvoorblaaie toe hy die baasbrein, Cecilia Steyn, en haar vyf trawante vir minstens 11 moorde in hegtenis neem.
Suid-Afrika se eie “Chuck Norris” neem die leser tot agter die skerms van die satanistiese moorde en onthul nuwe, skokkende besonderhede van die misdade wat die land amper ’n dekade lank vasgenael gehou het.
This is Laurence Gardner's final book, written shortly before his
death in 2010 and is the accompanying book to his Origin of God
(published 2011 by dash house publishing). Together with Origin of
God, this book outlines an irrefutable and searing indictment of
conventional belief and exposes the evils and absurdities
perpetuated over the millenia in the name of Christianity. In
Revelation of the Devil, Laurence Gardner traces the history of the
Devil, from its roots in Mesopotamia and the Old Testament all the
way up to the modern world of today. Travelling through the New
Testament, as well as the Koran, and then passing in turn through
the Inquisitions, the Reformation and the Enlightenment, he unmasks
what he has called "the myth of evil and the conspiracy of Satan."
For nearly 2,000 years a supernatural entity known as the Devil has
been held responsible by Church authorities for bringing sin and
wickedness into the world. Throughout this period, the Devil has
been portrayed as a constant protagonist of evil, although his
origin remains a mystery and his personality has undergone many
interpretive changes, prompting questions such as: If God is all
good and all powerful, then why does evil exist? How can it exist?
If God created everything, then where did the Devil come from? If
the Devil exists, then why does he not feature in any pre-Christian
document? Revelation of the Devil follows the Devil's sinister
history, in the manner of a biography, from his scriptural
introduction to the dark satanic cults of the present day. In a
strict chronological progression, we experience the mood of each
successive era as the Devil's image was constantly manipulated to
suit the changing motives of his creators in their bid for
threat-driven clerical control.

The devil is the most charismatic and important figure in the blues
tradition. He's not just the music's namesake (""the devil's
music""), but a shadowy presence who haunts an imagined Mississippi
crossroads where, it is claimed, Delta bluesman Robert Johnson
traded away his soul in exchange for extraordinary prowess on the
guitar. Yet, as scholar and musician Adam Gussow argues, there is
much more to the story of the devil and the blues than these
cliched understandings. In this groundbreaking study, Gussow takes
the full measure of the devil's presence. Working from original
transcriptions of more than 125 recordings released during the past
ninety years, Gussow explores the varied uses to which black
southern blues people have put this trouble-sowing, love-wrecking,
but also empowering figure. The book culminates with a bold
reinterpretation of Johnson's music and a provocative investigation
of the way in which the citizens of Clarksdale, Mississippi,
managed to rebrand a commercial hub as ""the crossroads"" in 1999,
claiming Johnson and the devil as their own.
