Poison is all around us. Whether that’s in the vindictive personalities of some who do not wish us well or, more usually, in a substance given to us to cause illness and maybe even death.
In this volume our classic authors take narratives and characters who sometimes know each other, may profess love for each other, but are on a dark path to ensure their victims suffer in a cruel and needless way that somehow brings the poisoner what they want.

Naturally this literary dosage comes in all shapes and sizes and in a range of stories where warped perpetrators have reasons that are just so easy to believe. Victims are everywhere.
