One person’s villain can be another’s hero. Delve into the pasts, thoughts, and alternate worlds of character types we’re supposed to hate. Meet the real witches and scoundrels of our childhood tales, the archetypal religious fanatic, the brilliant mastermind, the evil ex-spouse, the meddling housekeeper, even the monsters of myth and legend. Immerse yourself in the perspectives of creatures and criminals who lurk in the deep dank dark of our cities, oceans and jungles…
This anthology explores the transformative power of perspective, challenging archetypes, reflecting contemporary sentiments, and retelling stories you thought you knew.
