Shiel's prose is characterized by its rich atmospheric detail and emotional depth, weaving together elements of supernatural intrigue with psychological insight. The narrative unfolds through the lens of a corrupt society, where individual actions ripple through the fabric of morality, making Shiel's work a significant contribution to the gothic and surreal literary traditions of the early 20th century. Born in 1865 on the Caribbean island of Montserrat, M.P. Shiel experienced diverse cultural influences that molded his perspectives as a writer. His extensive travels and interest in the occult and esoteric themes are palpable within this novel.

Readers seeking a rich, thought-provoking narrative will find "The Evil That Men Do" both challenging and rewarding. Shiel's intricate characterizations and philosophical musings invite reflection on personal accountability and the human condition.
