Confucius once wrote that those who travel down the path of revenge should dig two graves; one for their enemy, and one for themselves. The characters in this book do not abide by that suggestion.
Whether it's the result of greed, rage, or romance gone wrong, the characters in this collection are all driven by the need for retribution. Rather than burn them up, their vengeance keeps them warm.
The time periods and settings range from the height of the Great Depression to the 21st century. A lot may have changed since... except the bureaucratic desire for revenge.
