Thanks so much for all the Support!

Winners will be announced very soon!



heinous villains

We are so used to focus our eyes and ears onto the heroes of a book that sometimes we forget about the ones that usually bring the stakes to such a height that you can’t help but cry, scream, laugh or even talk to your own book.
What would it be of our dear leading ladies and men is we didn’t have those conniving, awful and heartless people, or not, that we call villains around?
They can come in every shape, size, race and from any world you can think of. They can be nightmarish beings or even a member of your own family. A lot of them have pasts that molded them into being what they are and some have no excuse for the unimaginable evil they bring into the world.
How many times have these villains gotten you so mad that you felt like screaming at them or even taking matters into your own hands? I can say for myself, that I have lost count of how many times I’ve felt that way.
However, we can’t deny that the books we love so much and give so much of our time to, would be infinitely less interesting and compelling if they didn’t bring their evilness and viciousness into the game.
In my opinion the worse villains are not the fairytale monsters that we get so used to reading about in UF and PNR, but the human monsters. The pedophiles, the abusive parents, the serial killers, etc. Those are the villains that scare me the most, because they are too close to our reality for comfort.
How about you?

    The kind of villain that frightens me the most is the one that psycholgically frightens the victim, because even if the villain is caught, the victim will be mentally branded probably for ever.

    * Forgot to answer the question
    The ones that frighten me the most are psychopaths and sociopatha because thy're usually very clever and you never know their next move.
