Our Top Villains In Literature | Dracula, President Snow, Sauron & More

The Book Jar Podcast

Everybody loves a good villain. From the most sinister non-human entities to the humans we start to empathize with, we've got all the best baddies from books we've read. We start with a classic President Snow and end with an even more classic villain who will suck your blood, and we hit every bad guy in between.

We start the podcast with our most-recent reads and end it by drawing our next topic from our book jar!

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
• Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein
• The Luminaries by Susan Dennard
• The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
