The Villains Club: A Delightfully Devious Anthology

Welcome to The Villain's Club!

Here, chaos is mandatory, caffeine is non-negotiable, and every meeting starts with a complaint about heroes who get in their way.

Inside this delightfully devious anthology, villains finally get their own POV. That means no oversight, no interruptions, just pure, unfiltered rebellion.

On the surface, these villains may seem like ordinary scoundrels, delinquents, bandits, and baddies. Scratch the surface (preferably with a dagger-shaped, impeccably manicured pinky nail), and you'll find all the complexities, contradictions, impossible choices, and longing for connection that make even villains human. You'll get to know misunderstood monsters, overworked overlords, demons with major Inhuman Resources issues, and even a few villains who might actually be heroes (but we didn't have the heart to tell them).

There are no tidy lessons or shiny trophies here. Sometimes we're the hero, sometimes the villain.

And sometimes, it just feels good to be bad.

So grab a chair, pour something bubbly, and settle in.
