Punk Academia’s Reviews > Michelle remembers; the True Story of a Year-long Contest Between Innocence and Evil > Status Update

There are some vile things described in this book, and I think the fact that people made this shit up and passed it off as true is even more disturbing than if it had actually happened.

Michelle Smith was Patient Zero of the Satanic Panic. I vaguely remembered this until I watched the 2023 documentary SATAN WANTS YOU on Kanopy, then started listening to the five-part coverage on the YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT podcast. What a couple of grifters, ruining peoples lives with lies and made-up nonsense. All disproven and thoroughly debunked, but people still believe this horseshit.
