Are you fed up of drowning in two-dimensional villains? Frustrated with creating clichés? And failing to get your reader to root for your villain?

In 13 Steps to Evil, you’ll discover:

  • How to develop a villain’s mindset
  • A step-by-step guide to creating your villain from the ground up
  • Why getting to the core of a villain’s personality is essential to make them credible

This was a great discussion of the aspects to think about when creating believable villains. I'm going to read the other books by Sacha Black. Only negative is that the appendix wasn't included!

Excellent but index missing!

Sacha has written a book that really breaks down what makes a great villain that should be part of every authors toolkit and it was read with her infectious personality. Totally brilliant!

Brilliantly Villainous, wickedly read
