Excerpt from front flap: "In a book that confronts our society's obsession with violence, Maria Tatar seeks the meaning behind one of the most disturbing images of twentieth-century Western culture: the violated female corpse. ... In examining images of sexual murder (_Lustmord_), she produces a riveting study of how art and murder have intersected in the sexual politics of culture from Weimar Germany to the present."
