ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The title of the book is a little bit of a misnomer, because most of the short stories deal with villains and I didn't notice a lot of misunderstandings (maybe a couple). Overall, this was a pretty fun anthology. There are 22 very different stories (some of them are poems), written by a variety of authors. Some worked better for me than others, but there were definitely a few standouts.

Time Lock by James Rogers (5⭐)
This was a really good story if you like
time loops
.

The Healer by Luke Hannon (5⭐)
I really liked the concept. The story was pretty short, but the execution was well done and very effective.

City of Rot by Josh Clayton (5⭐)
Great reveal at the end.

Practice and Preach by Jeannie Marschall (4⭐)
This one was just a fun read.

6 Principles for a Stronger Relationship with Your Undead Minions by Merdhin Wylde (4⭐) 
Another fun one, very cohesive.
