Book Recommendation: If I Were An Evil Overlord....

[thewayne]

Paperback, edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Russell Davis, it was released earlier this year IIRC. Contains several short stories on the subject, including stories by Esther Friesner and Tanya Huff (Tanya's a new fav of mine, and her story is cool). Some stories that I particularly liked were The Life and Death of Fortune Cookie Tyrant, by Dean Wesley Smith, Gordie Culligan vs Doctor Longbeach and the HVAC of Doom, by J. Steven York (yes, HVAC = heating/ventilation/air conditioning), and Art Therapy, by Nina Kiriki Hoffman.


Anyway, definitely recommended.

Do they also have this list that is going on, "100 Things to Do in Order to Rule the World" or something? Because that would totally fit to the title.

Those are what these stories are based upon, or at least some of them. They've been on the web for a long time, the one that I prefer is Peter's at http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html.

But I don't think the two things are connected, aside from a mutual love of evil.
