'Hell is empty and all the devils are here'...William Shakespeare.
Evil is nothing new. It has stalked us since the beginning of time. We might not like to admit it, but it is hard not to be fascinated by the perpetrators of the most appalling crimes.
People who kill come in every size and shape and from every age and culture, and the insights they offer into human nature are invaluable. But no one can ever quite explain why these people do the terrible things that they do. The only certain thing is that evil never goes out of fashion.
