Welcome to The Villain’s Club.

Here, chaos is mandatory, caffeine is non-negotiable, and every meeting starts with a complaint about heroes who get in their way.  

Inside this delightfully devious anthology, villains finally get their own POV. That means no oversight, no interruptions, just pure, unfiltered rebellion. 

On the surface, these villains may seem like ordinary scoundrels, delinquents, bandits, and baddies. Scratch the surface (preferably with a dagger-shaped, impeccably manicured pinky nail), and you’ll find all the complexities, contradictions, impossible choices, and longing for connection that make even villains human. You’ll get to know misunderstood monsters, overworked overlords, demons with major Inhuman Resources issues, and even a few villains who might actually be heroes (but we didn’t have the heart to tell them).

There are no tidy lessons or shiny trophies here. Sometimes we’re the hero, sometimes the villain. 

And sometimes, it just feels good to be bad.

HORIZONS: Expeditions in Short Fiction, Volume Two invites readers to step beyond the known and into a collection where imagination stretches, bends, and redefines the limits of experience. In this second volume, Twenty Bellows expands its reach, bringing together stories that move from the deeply personal to the wildly speculative, each one charting its own course across the terrain of what it means to be human.

Within these pages, you’ll encounter voices that are intimate, strange, and unforgettable. A chance encounter reveals unexpected truths. Grief reshapes reality in quiet, devastating ways. Love appears in forms both tender and unsettling. Elsewhere, entire worlds tilt, time fractures, nature makes itself heard, and survival becomes the only constant. Whether grounded in realism or drifting into the surreal, each story offers a new perspective, asking readers to look closer, think deeper, and feel more fully.

This anthology weaves together a wide range of styles and themes into a cohesive and compelling whole. The result is a collection that is as thought-provoking as it is immersive. A testament to the creativity and craft of Western writers.
