In one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I saw last year Spike said "Evil for Dummies" as a pun. From that second my mind became haunted with various ideas of how such a book would look like and what it would contain. I am equally certain that no publisher would want to publish such a book as I am certain that it would sell fairly well. People like to watch evil. Why else is the Internet, the first mass distribution channel without censor, filled with such content? To clear my mind I made the following outline.
