Ofshe and Watters, <cite>Making Monsters: False Memory, Satanic Cult 
Abuse, and Sexual Hysteria.</cite>  I have always found <a href="http://www.milk.com/wall-o-shame/">cranks</a> and <a href="http://www.teleport.com/~dkossy/">kooks</a> and
lunatics and the deluded morbidly fascinating, and up to a point I take a
certain mean pleasure in seeing just how corrupt human thought can be; but
beyond that point it's no fun any more, simply appalling and stunning.  This
book is full of people so far beyond that point that after reading it I
feel like welcoming a garden-variety Shakespeare-wrote-Bacon man as a
comrade in arms.  Detailed, horses-mouth descriptions of how ``therapists''
create memories of abuse, the destruction of families and communities,
people who sincerely confess to crimes they couldn't possibly have committed,
medical, legal and scholarly incompetence, no <em>complicity</em> on an
all-too-credible scale, sadistic ``re-experiencings'' of supposed abuse,
the forcible creation of multiple personalities by supposed therapists,
nonsensical conspiracies, and everywhere an abysmal absence of logic and
reason and light.  And we dare say the Dark Ages have ended!
