Because You Love to Hate Me

**LEAVE IT TO THE HEROES TO SAVE THE WORLD--VILLAINS JUST WANT TO *RULE* THE WORLD.** In this unique anthology, thirteen acclaimed, bestselling authors team up with thirteen influential booktubers to reimagine the origin stories of the villains we love to hate--infamous foes from fairy tales, mythology, and brand-new worlds. Based on comic book-inspired enemies in pop culture and classics such as Medusa from Greek mythology, Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes, and the giant from "Jack and the Beanstalk," these fractured, unconventional spins retell each character's story in an original, unexpected way. This behind-the-curtain look at villains explores the pain, heartbreak, and sorrow that set them on the road to bad and questions whether or not anyone is truly born evil. No fairy tale will ever seem quite the same again... This description comes from the publisher.
