INCEL

CAUSE & EFFECT

The world’s most prolific true crime author has followed SLAUGHTER with another disturbing triumph. INCEL profiles some of the most infamous “involuntary celibate” mass shooters, including Elliot Rodger, Nikolas Cruz, Alek Minassian, Scott Beierle and Brandon Clark. INCEL examines the unique criminal psychology behind these disturbed, alienated individuals. In this ground-breaking analysis, the first of its kind, investigative writer Nick van der Leek uncovers the deep psychological causes behind the incel phenomenon. He explains why the travails of America’s most alienated men shouldn’t be dismissed as mere mental illness. Van der Leek reveals that the incel problem is less an aberration than an obvious and predictable result of a current worldwide “sexual recession”. “We imagine with feminism and the gay rights that the world is more sexually liberated than ever, and that’s true. But that doesn’t mean people generally are having more sex than ever, in fact quite the opposite. There’s a profound reason for this, and one very few of us understand. I wrote this book because I felt it was time we did.” Besides two sections devoted to Cause and Effect, the INCEL narrative also deals with the Cure to the sexual recession. This addendum by the master of the true crime genre is a veritable self-help guide for celibates young and old who find themselves floundering in a sex obsessed world.
