In 2016 Grimdark Magazine successfully ran a Kickstarter to pull together Evil is a Matter of Perspective: An Anthology of Antagonists. It’s full of authors Fantasy Faction readers will love and the public release paperback is dropping on the 16th of June.

The full list of authors is impressive, featuring R. Scott Bakker, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Michael R. Fletcher, Shawn Speakman, Teresa Frohock, Kaaron Warren, Courtney Schafer, Marc Turner, Jeff Salyards, Mazarkis Williams, Deborah A. Wolf, Brian Staveley, Alex Marshall, Bradley P. Beaulieu, Matthew Ward, Mark Alder, Janny Wurts, E.V. Morrigan, and Peter Orullian.

Check out the back cover blurb and the links to grab it below!

Experience your favourite fantasy worlds through some of the most fearsome, devious, and brutal antagonists in fantasy. Villains take centre stage in nineteen dark and magical stories that will have you cheering for all the wrong heroes as they perform savage deeds towards wicked ends. And why not? They are the champions of their own stories—evil is a matter of perspective.

Fantasy-Faction‘s assistant editor says: Personally, I can’t wait to check out the offerings from Teresa Frohock, Marc Turner, Jeff Salyards and Michael R. Fletcher. All are really exciting and relatively new authors whose books I’ve thoroughly enjoyed over the last couple of years. I’m also excited to delve in and discover new (to me) authors – especially kickass female writers like Courtney Schafer, Mazarkis Williams and Deborah A. Wolf!
