“Here is a link to Wikipedia on "Jay's Journal," the 1978 book about a Utah teen that started the great Satanic panic of the 1980s. He lived in the same town that I did and the lies about his suicide (he never was into satanism) really shaped 80s Mormonism https://t.co/hC0icYojEY https://t.co/zmSCUraeaT” (from X)

Jay was a sweet, bright high school student who cared about his grades and his friends. He had ambitions. He was happy. And he thought he could handle anything. He was wrong. When Jay falls in with a crowd that's dabbling in drugs and the occult, he finds himself in over his head and doing things he never thought possible. Fascinated by the dark arts and in love with a dangerous girl, Jay falls deeper and deeper into a life he no longer recognizes...and sees no way out.
