DEEP CUTS Episode 63: What Makes a Compelling Villain

Every great hero needs a villain. Even more essential? For every protagonist to have a compelling antagonist.  What does it take to have an antagonist that readers hate, but also hate to love?  Scott & A talk compelling villains and why we love them.
