A vampire owing child support . A law student stranded in a war-torn fantasy world . A comic book geek with a magic lamp . and these are the good guys. Why should it be natural to read tales of valor, carried out by heroes who are brave, noble, or even good? Why can't the villain save the day once in a while? Or maybe the damsel in distress? Or perhaps a drunken kid on Spring Break? Within this 2nd Edition collection are twenty-five dark little stories wrapped around the odd theme of "unheroic" individuals making a difference. This twisted, eclectic mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror tales will leave you looking at the real world through different eyes.
