"There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly, and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it."
- Chanakya
WICKEDNESS RULES IN THESE SHORT STORIES
Avaricious, cruel, depraved, envious, mean-spirited, vengeful, evil-the wicked have been with us since the beginnings of humankind. You might recognize them and you might not. But make no mistake. When the wicked cross your path, your life will never be the same. Do you know someone wicked? You will.
The 21 suspense, horror, and fantasy stories in the
Someone Wicked
