This feature is currently taking a break but will be back soon!

Have you ever noticed how the villains are often more interesting and more memorable than the heroes? In my new feature, Fiendish Fridays, I will profile a different literary villain every two weeks.

If you’d like to submit a Fiend of your own, you’re very welcome – send me an email at helenlovesbooks81[at]gmail[dot]com. I will be using the format shown below, but you can present the information in any other way you wish. Please try to avoid any major spoilers.
