What would the stories we love be without the villains?

Twenty original stories in one book that promises to recreate the exact moment when twenty great villains from literature like Dracula, the Bogeyman, Mr Hyde, Captain Hook, Cthulhu, the Wicked Witch of the West, Snow White’s stepmother, and the demon Lilith, felt the flower of evil bloom inside, transforming them into the most disturbing dark figures of all time.

• The greatest villains of all time describe how the evil began.

• A complete overview of imaginary evil to save us from the evil in the real world.

• Multifaceted characters to help us better understand both them and, perhaps, ourselves.

• Beautiful illustrations by Paolo Barbieri, considered one of the greatest Italian fantasy illustrators.
