What is it about evil that we find so compelling? From our obsession with serial killers to violence in pop culture, we seem inescapably drawn to the stories of monstrous acts and the aberrant people who commit them. But evil, Dr. Julia Shaw argues, is all relative, rooted in our unique cultures. What one may consider normal, like sex before marriage, eating meat, or being a banker, others find abhorrent. And if evil is only in the eye of the beholder, can it be said to exist at all? In Evil, Shaw uses case studies from academia, examples from and popular culture, and anecdotes from everyday life to break down complex information and concepts like the neuroscience of evil, the psychology of bloodlust, and workplace misbehavior. This is a wide-ranging exploration into a fascinating, darkly compelling subject.

    This is a theme in this book. We often label things as evil or bad if they are abnormal, yet we often fail to adequately define what normal actually means.

    Finally, some people are aroused by annoying someone. Four per cent of men and 5 per cent of women are sexually aroused by the idea of making obscene sexual phone calls – called scatalogia (yes, that’s the correct term, we’ll get to scatophillia in a minute).

    A paraphilic interest really just means being sexually aroused by something that other people are not. Paraphilia stands in contrast to ‘normophilic’ sexual interests, a slightly ridiculous way of saying that someone is into normal sex. According to one of the main books used to diagnose mental-health concerns, the DSM-5,2 normophilic interests involve ‘genital stimulation or preparatory fondling with phenotypically normal, physically mature, consenting human partners’. According to this, someone is only sexually normal if they like touching the private parts of someone who looks normal, is a grown-up, and is giving consent. Does this suggest that being attracted to someone who looks different, due to choice or genetic lottery, is pathological?
