Because You Love to Hate Me is a young adult anthology that brings together well-known authors and BookTubers to reimagine classic fairy-tale villains. Each story is told from the perspective of a “villain” or misunderstood character, offering a darker and more complex view of familiar tales.
The collection is paired with commentary from BookTubers who respond to each story, creating a dialogue between writers and readers. Themes include morality, identity, power, and the idea that villains are often shaped by circumstance rather than pure evil.
