Von Psychopathen wie Charles Manson oder Serienmördern wie Jack the Ripper geht eine unheimliche Faszination aus. Doch woher kommt sie?

Shaw sucht und findet das Böse nicht nur in den Gehirnen von Massenmördern, sondern in jedem von uns.

It was a killer year for horror fiction of the harder kind. Authors, editors, and publishers presented readers with some startling works of horrific imagination, stories graphic in the extreme yet with subtleties suggesting larger meanings, tales that explore humanity by plumbing depths of soulless inhumanity and, in some cases, outright depravity. The stories here represent the best of them, disturbing tales that dig deep and take you into the dark heart of horror itself, unrelenting and unapologetic.

Shaw denkt Mozarts Oper weiter und läßt die Hauptfiguren aus "Don Giovanni" nach ihrem Tod in der Hölle über die Welt, das Leben und die Liebe diskutieren. Der Don-Juan-Mythos wird dabei, gemäß Shaw's These von der "life force", völlig umgekehrt, der Verfolger der Frauen wird nun selbst zum Verfolgten. Er wird als Denker gedeutet, der sich seiner Aufgabe, bei der Schaffung des Übermenschen mitzuwirken, entziehen will. Aber gerade durch das Wagnis, die Grundfragen des Lebens kraft seines Intellekts zu lösen, dient er (wie Shaw später auch in "Back to Methuselah" darzulegen versuchte) dem eigentlichen Ziel des Lebens: der Befreiung von den Fesseln der Materie und damit der Verwirklichung des Daseins, in dem die schöpferische Intelligenz sich voll entfalten kann.
