From World War 2, through the 1970s and '80s, to the present day, maniacs, murderers, rapists, and sadists perpetrate horrific crimes. Young or old, male or female, the disciples of evil come in many guises; you can meet some of them in A Taste for the Macabre. The collectors whose rivalry gets out of hand. The doctor who takes great pleasure in his work. The horror fan who finds life imitating art. The disciplinarian who believes in the severest forms of chastisement. Quite frankly, you wouldn't want to encounter them anywhere else. A Taste for the Macabre contains ten contes cruel.
