The Great Satanic Swindle

A bizarre true tale of tabloid England

Once, a mysterious stranger arrived in a small Sussex village and told a tale of witchcraft, trapped souls and a life-or-death struggle with Satan himself. A group of church-goers, millionaires and aristocrats stepped in to save him, and things got very weird. 

A raunchy, true-crime folk-horror comedy of 1980s England, The Great Satanic Swindle is a story about two friends who challenged what it means to believe in something – and someone – no matter how irrational. 

Author and spoken-word artist Justin Hopper tells a story that is at once utterly unbelievable and entirely true.
