Tales of Villany: An Introduction

I working on a new project. It's called Tales of Villainy.

Extremists fascinate me. How do people who exist outside of society see themselves? How do those who perform extreme acts understand their actions? When these people become villains, they make for the most entertaining stories. Joker, not Batman, created the most compelling comic book movie. American History X. Silence of the Lambs. The Princess and the Frog.

I'm eliminating the hero altogether to tell the story of the villain. Rest assured, I don't believe myself some newfangled sociologist with a deep understanding of humanity. These stories are goofy, awkward, and (hopefully) fun.

The first Tales of Villainy tells the story of Sound Check. He was once a middle school teacher and family man. However, he's had too much of the music industry. The Black Eyed Peas. Kesha. Pitbull. He's tired of hearing the heaps of lyrical garbage being produced, and he's going to stop it.

Over the next few days, expect the first few chapters of Sound Check's story to pop up here.
