This title is an illuminating exploration of mankind's macabre fascination with death, murder, and violence. What is it about the human psyche that gives us such a lurid fascination with all things related to death, murder, and horror - why do we slow down at the scene of an accident to look? Why do we love to hear lurid details of sensational murders? And why are macabre slasher and horror movies so popular? Based on a series of interviews with perpetrators, victims, and 'consumers' of violence - including several celebrities - and drawing on many areas of research, 'The Lust for Blood' presents an illuminating exploration of the human responses to violence, and raises questions about the blurring boundaries between normal and abnormal behaviour.
