Evil is a point of fascination for many. With the popularity of podcasts like My Favorite Murder, fascination with the cruelty of others, and our current political climate, Evil by Dr. Julia Shaw is an absolute must read. Why do we turn a blind eye to some behaviors, but show our anger at others? How can an entire culture condone the imprisonment of children or the slaughter of a single race? Is sexual deviance a character flaw or normal? Dr. Shaw explores these ideas and many more.
Dr. Julia Shaw’s book, Evil, is well researched, well written, and just plain fascinating. The book does have bias, but Dr. Shaw is very careful to point out when she is not being objective. Be warned; parts of this book are horrifying and emotionally destructive. Prepare to have a very long therapy session after reading this one.
Evil is available from Abrams Press now.
