Blog Hops: Winning Villian

Today's Follow Friday question over at Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read is:

Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?

There is an out of print book by Bentley Little called The Mailman that I just love.  If you ever see it in a used bookstore, grab it up!

It's a horror book where the new mailman in town is completely (and wonderfully) creepy.

Sometimes I can help but root for the totally creepy.  ;)

  5. Awesome choice! I've read a couple books in the past where I totally wanted the villain to win. I LOVE it when an author can make me root for the bad guy!

  9. I'm not sure I want to read this book, lol. I do like creepy, though, so I'm sure I'd get a kick out of it. Ha!

  10. I haven't read too much horror, comes with being afraid of the dark I guess, and I'd hate to be afraid of the postman! He brings nice things in jiffy bags!

  15. Sometimes I can root for the creepy guy if he's really clever and smart. Love to read a good horror book once in awhile.

  21. Not to big on Horror. I used to be into it, or think I was but then the nightmares started and I realized it's not for me!

    Oh well, have a great weekend!

  22. I don't stomach horror stories too well... Which is probably why I never came in contact with a book where the antagonist is creepy to the point that he's likable. LOL =] Great post!

    New follower. Thanks for stopping by my blog! =]

  23. Haha ... what an unusual reason to root for the villain ;-)

  27. Thanks for hopping through my blog!

    It feels so good to find a kindred answer! Okay, mine were not out of a horror story, but that is because I am a bit of a craven and sometimes cannot sleep after too much horror ;)
