In Monsters in Life and Literature Dr. Demuth takes the reader on a journey into the world of the forensic psychologist, tasked with understanding the most extreme forms of what is usually referred to as the human capacity for evil.

The book is essential reading for anyone concerned with understanding these regions of darkness in the human condition.
