My Favorite Villains
Villains.
They’re soooo misunderstood.
Unless they’re not.
Sometimes they’re understood just fine because they’re simply evil.
But whoever they are and whatever they might have done—allegedly—most villains do have positive traits. First and foremost, intelligence. You’re not going to make it big in the villain game if you’re a
moron. And certainly charisma is an absolute must for fledgling villains. After all, unless you were able to intern at your uncle’s secret death-ray laboratory, you’ve got to start from the ground up, which means convincing potential henchmen/women that they should follow you and swear undying loyalty to your diabolical cause.
And then there’s that special “focus,” villains possess—that admirable clarity of purpose that is the hallmark of villainy. You’ve got to have your evil ducks in a row if you’re gonna hit the big time. A mastery of Excel spreadsheets probably wouldn’t hurt either.
Here’s a list of some of my favorite villains and why I admire them:






ones—you can be sure I’d do a whole lot worse than make them fall asleep in a field of poppies.
I’d pop a cap in them.

Any others you’d put on this list? I’d love to hear who your favorites villains are and why! (Oh, and
by the way, I deliberately left off Hannibal Lechter because ... ew. I don’t care if he is a genius. To me, cannibalism cancels out whatever redeeming traits you might have. No exceptions.)

In this fast-paced but superficial sci-fi thriller, 16-year-old Sarah, who is half-Latina, is being held in a remote, snowy location in a facility where she is being systematically operated on to erase her memories and make her a Tabula Rasa—a blank slate. She has been told it's for her own good because it will redeem her juvenile delinquent past and get her back on track. After mercenaries attack the facility and kill the staff and patients, Sarah realizes that she's their main target, but has no idea why. The teen struggles to stay alive, helped by Thomas, a talented hacker who's broken into the facility for his own reasons. Gunmen relentlessly purse them throughout the damaged facility on orders by Hodges, a powerful woman whom Sarah instinctively hates. The story's plot is more like a video game or film screenplay—all action and little substance. With the exception of Sarah and Thomas, the characters are underdeveloped. Hodges is a caricature of an evil villain with rather nonsensical motives. The medical procedure Sarah's undergoing and the expected result is the most intriguing aspect of the book, but it's ancillary to the rest of the action, which will be a disappointment to readers hoping for a more complex tale.—Sharon Rawlins, New Jersey State Library, Trenton | Amazon | B & N | Indiebound |
I’m a mom of four, a practicing geek, a holder of many opinions (which I’m more than happy to share with you—really, just ask). I earned my MFA from Columbia University. My debut YA thriller, Tabula Rasa (EgmontUSA), Fall 2014, is about a girl whose memory is forcibly stripped from her and so naturally she must kick everyone’s butt in retaliation. I live with my husband and merry band of misfits in Arlington, VA. | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Goodreads | Youtube |
I want to know if she figures out why she's being targeted.
