The podcast THE DEVIL WITHIN returns with A Season in Hell...
In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history.
With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill.
BINGE THE FIRST TWO SEASONS NOW!
Season 1: The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them.
Season 2: In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England.
After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price...

Customer Reviews
Interesting topic but not what I expected
Although I was very interested in the topic discussed (occult, folklore, etc) I was more interested in hearing about the Sullivan murder which is what I thought was the topic of this podcast. Each episode was predominantly fiction and speculation and not really any new information or actual facts about Tommy’s story.
Too much history
The story of the crime was interesting but, going back to talk about the occult and history books was very boring and long winded. I didn’t finish the series.
Difficult Listen given so many factual inaccuracies
Enjoyed season 1 but season 2 has been a let down this far and I’m only 2 episodes in. There is a lot of factual inaccuracies especially relating to the IRA and the troubles in Northern Ireland which is brought up constantly but doesn’t really have anything to do with the story.
