PRAISE FOR THE ANATOMY OF EVIL
“The fluid, articulate style of this studious yet accessible volume attests to the impressive breadth and depth of Dr. Stone's knowledge about the people who've committed the world's most evil acts. Using psychology, religion, philosophy, and neuroscience, he dissects this complex concept in the form of case study and presents a concise and profound analysis. A great read for scholars and laypeople alike. You won't forget these stories! It's everything you ever wanted to know about evil but were too afraid to ask.”
—Dr. Katherine Ramsland,
professor of forensic psychology and chair of social sciences,
DeSales University; author of Confession of a Serial Killer
“Only a person of Dr. Stone's stature could address so complex an issue. For years he has led the effort to better understand the perverse depth of the most heinous of criminal minds. This book sheds a bright light on the darkness of those same minds.”
—Roy Hazelwood, FBI (ret.)
“In this fascinating and compelling work, Dr. Michael Stone leads the way on a dark and irresistible journey. Down each path and around every corner the Face of Evil is ever changing—everything from the fresh ‘innocent’ faces of the seemingly benign Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo…to the malicious and haunting faces of Charles Manson and Richard ‘Night Stalker’ Ramirez…. Powerful and riveting!”
—Carol Rothgeb-Stokes, author of Hometown Killer
“Dr. Stone's groundbreaking work is a must read for everyone involved in the criminal justice system, and for everyone else who wants to better understand the concept of evil and those to whom it applies.”
—Peter Davidson, journalist and true crime author
