Evil Families examines the lives of families who are bad to the bone
with malevolence in their DNA. From wicked dynasties in Ancient Rome
through the families of drug lords and inbred families of the modern age
to neighbours from Hell, this book is about murder, madness, lust,
ruthless ambition, betrayal and intrigue. Filled with photos, this
history features dysfunctional families of every stripe, from the
Ptolemaic dynasty that terrorized Greek Egypt for ten generations and
the Qing Dynasty of Ancient China who cultivated cruelty as an art form,
through the Tudors, the Medicis and the Borgias on to the cannibal
families of the New World - the Harpe Brothers of Kentucky, the Bloody
Benders of Kansas and their near neighbours the Stafflebacks - and
beyond these cases to the vices and violence of the Mafia, and mob rule
on London streets .
