What Goes Around
A collection of tales where opposing forces of evil battle each other.
Rhys Milsom examines the dynamics of villainy through a series of short stories that pit dark forces against one another. The author questions the standard trope of good versus evil by introducing conflicts between different manifestations of badness.

The narratives rely on shock value and dark amusement to engage the audience, encouraging them to root for the less sympathetic or more complex villains. By focusing on the internal struggles of evil entities, the book offers a unique take on supernatural fiction. It avoids traditional moral lessons in favor of exploring the consequences when badness confronts itself. This approach creates a reading experience that is both unsettling and intellectually stimulating for fans of the genre.
