Pedofilia, nekrofilia, kazirodztwo, flagelacja, sadyzm, brutalne gwałty, a także czarnoksięstwo, profanacja trupów, miłosne napoje – to tylko niektóre wątki bulwersującej książki Elwiry Watały. Chronologiczne ramy Wielkich zboczeńców są szerokie: od Egiptu faraonów po Rosję Putina. Autorka obnaża różne dewiacje seksualne władców i wielkich tego świata, także tych, których zwykliśmy uważać za wzór cnót. Nie osądza swych bohaterów, nie wnika w motywy ich postepowania, nie piętnuje i nie usprawiedliwia. Z porażającą brutalnością ukazuje perwersyjne oblicze ludzkiej natury.
