The Beautiful Evil is a captivating psychological thriller that will keep you questioning reality until the ultimate, final act.
What inspired you to write this book?
My love of mythology, a quote about hope being 'the worst of all evils' by Nietzsche and my fascination with good vs evil, fueled my creativity and inspiration for The Beautiful Evil.
How is your book different from other books in this genre?
When one hears the word, psychological thriller, the first thought is serial killer or abductions. The Beautiful Evil redefines the genre, Psychological Thriller with its cutting edge style, disturbing situations and unique characters.
