The DAT Top Three – Horror Novel Villains

We all root for the hero but we all want to be the villain. While every great story has a bad guy, some are more interesting than others and not all bad guys are guys. Horror novel villains scare us, and at the same time, we want to live vicariously through them, doing evil deeds without fear of consequence. You will certainly disagree with my Top Three choices but you can’t deny the power of the horror novel villain. Carpe villanus!
