Top 10 Authors Who are Terrible People
Here, this concerns authors of both fiction and non-fiction who are terrible people behind the scenes.
Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 - April 30, 1945) was a German politician of Austrian descent who served as the leader of the Nazi Party since 1921, Chancellor of Germany since 1933, and Führer of Nazi Germany since 1934. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he reversed the Treaty of Versailles, initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was a central figure of the Holocaust. He committed suicide two days before Soviet soldiers stormed his underground shelter in Berlin. Do I even need to explain why he is here?
Louis Cachet, (born Kristian Vikernes) more popularly known as Varg Vikernes, is a Norwegian musician, writer, and a convicted murderer and arsonist. He is known as the frontman of the one-man band Burzum (named after a word in the Black Speech, which is a fictional language in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings), which is considered one of the most influential bands in black metal history. He's also known for murdering Mayhem guitarist Euronymous and was sentenced to 21 years in prison in 1994. Has written books about Scandinavian history. At the same time he killed a bandmate, burned down churches and is a Neo-Nazi.
I've never read any of his books, but I don't want to read books by a psychopath either. What he did to his wife was just TOO horrible to be described!
If I ever met him in the street, I would pull the guts out of the old man and torture him until he begs me to stop, but he's dead so... But still, he stabbed his wife with a knife! He was even friends with a criminal too!
Killed his second wife. Need we said more?
Notorious Holocaust denier who infamously lost a case against a historian who accused him of lying about history. Was found to be distorting history to the extreme, and deliberately writing in support of Hitler & the Nazis.
Another holocaust denier who admires Hitler all the while hating democracy. Presumably that's because his numerous parties haven't even got 1% of the vote in South African elections.

His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity. Child abuse and adultery.
Oh my God...! Seriously?!
Notoriously homophobic.
Bret Easton Ellis (born March 7, 1964) is an American author, screenwriter, and short story writer. His works have been translated into 27 languages. He was at first regarded as one of the so-called literary Brat Pack, which also included Tama Janowitz and Jay McInerney.

Joanne Rowling, CH, OBE, FRSL, FRCPE, writing under the pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, philanthropist, film and television producer and screenwriter best known for writing the Harry Potter fantasy series. Has been an often preachy and irritating person, not to mention how her jumping on the anti-PewDiePie bandwagon is utterly hypocritical, considering how she was on the end of such abuse herself when her books were accused of promoting witchcraft. Amazing.
Can't be a good person if you write a massive Satanic book series that has led many away from God.
