“There are no heroes within these pages … well, not heroes in the traditional sense,” the calculated narrator continues.
Bone-Tingling Illustrations
Illustrated by Justin and Alexis Hernandez, the original artwork makes this book something special. The bold lines, sweeping brush strokes in lavish colors, and incredible shading create such a sinister mood in each panel.

The image of Charnabog, the winged-monster perched on Bald Mountain, truly does create a moment of fear when the reader first turns the page. After opening the secret flaps, this feeling amplifies when Charnabog reveals his horned face and dancing minions.
Sly Keepsakes Hidden on the Other Side
The compliation recounts the gruesome tales of 19 Disney villains from the all-powerful Malificent to scheming Shere Khan and Kaa. The famous antagonists are arranged into three themes: Enchanted Evil, Mortal Peril, and Inhuman Terror.
