About this audiobook
EVIL NEEDS A FRIEND is a darkly funny, deeply human Poetic Cinema journey into the emotions we often misunderstand. Evil has red skin, horns, a tail—and a terrible reputation. Everyone thinks they know him. Nobody asks what happened.
When Evil meets Black Sheep, another misunderstood outsider, their strange friendship opens a doorway into the invisible world beneath human behavior. Anger works Security. Fear pulls alarms. Jealousy carries binoculars. Memory keeps receipts. Shame steals mirrors. Love breaks in. Trust changes the locks. And Choice tries to keep everyone from grabbing the wheel.
Through humor, philosophy, and cinematic storytelling, Vernon Snell explores emotional intelligence, accountability, loneliness, love, fear, forgiveness, and self-worth. EVIL NEEDS A FRIEND asks a powerful question: before we label ourselves or someone else a monster, what might happen if we first ask—What happened?
