In particular, Hendrix is quite scornful of the claim that the haunting "made" the Lutzes abusive to their children.
murders did happen, the Amityville series also qualifies for this. Recovering memories through hypnosis is pseudoscience, and Michelle's story is demonstrably untrue (school records show no absences during the time this ritual supposedly took place, there is no building matching her description in Victoria, etc). Michelle claimed, among other things, to have watched a Satanic cult murder dozens of kittens and babies during an 81-day ritual to summon Satan while herself being tortured and sexually abused, and then to have been rescued by the Virgin Mary. Based on a Great Big Lie: Michelle Smith and Lawrence Pazder's Michelle Remembers, which launched the disastrous Satanic Panic during the 1980s.Author Phobia: A minor example, but Hendrix describes Let's Go Play at the Adams' as the only book he's only been able to read once and never wants to go back to.Author Appeal: Hendrix is fascinated by the Satanic Panic, which returns in this book having been fictionalized by him in My Best Friend's Exorcism.Ascended Extra: It's noted in Chapter 8 that Hannibal Lecter was a minor character in Thomas Harris' Red Dragon who became a major character in the sequel The Silence of the Lambs."The six Guardian books were about square-jawed, tweed-and-blackbriar-pipe types investigating Haunted Houses, underwater vampires, voodoo cults and Australians".
