About

The vilest deeds are the ones that forever live in infamy. More than two thousand years later, we’re still telling stories of Brutus stabbing Caesar. Why are these deeds remembered? Dastardly Deeds is a horror anthology that will explore the nature of the hideous. Why is vengeance so tempting? Why is murder in the hearts of so many? There are plenty of places to read about heroes. This anthology is for the bad guys. Stories can be from any genre as long as they have some sort of dastardly deed as the main focus of the plot.
