Maleficence
An Anthology of Queer Disabled Villainy

An anthology where disabled villains take the stage. Vampires in wheelchairs, necromancers with IBS, blind enchanters--we want it all. We want them visibly queer and irredeemably rotten. 

​

This is not a space for ableist language or themes. We are going to showcase the very dastardliest of villains who are also disabled, not villains who are evil because of or "in spite of" their disabilities.
