LAUNCHING ON KICKSTARTER
Evil Genius is a book for people who love villains. Drawing on a Who’s Who of fictional baddies spanning over 2,000 years, it is an encyclopaedic collection of quotations devoted entirely to villains. With more than 1,000 entries and over 400 of the finest rogues ever imagined, it represents the best of the worst.
The names in Evil Genius are the stuff of legend: Blofeld, Corleone, Ewing, Iago, Loki, Ultron, White, and more. But it's not their evil that inspired this book so much as the genius behind it.
Edited by Joshua Blackburn (author of The Language-Lover’s Lexipedia) and with art by one of the top illustrators in the world, Noma Bar, Evil Genius is not only definitive, but beautiful too.
Evil Genius is published by Offbeat Press and launches on Kickstarter in October. Sign up below for more information.
