"Very great blend of cartoon references and great original characters. Calling it Ready Player One for cartoons would be selling it short." - A. C. Merkel, Author of Her Name is Murder

The Story

After accidentally killing his foster parents, Jayce believes he is Earth's lone werewolf, living on the streets to hide his monstrous side. Jayce survives a deadly invitation to meet his real father and goes to HIDDEN BROOK, the world's only supervillain retirement home.

There he meets MAX MALICE and learns there are many stranger things in the world than himself - In Max's prime, robots, ghosts, and dinosaur clones used to threaten mankind on a weekly basis. Jayce needs to find their children to stop his father's one last attempt at world domination.

Old School Evil celebrates the cartoons of the 80s and their over-the-top villains - Megatron, Miles Mayhem, Skeletor, and the others that used to hold our weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings hostage.

"Cave is an engaging writer and he gives nuance, humanity and understanding to his characters. It is clear his warm imagination that fuels this universe was influenced by his unwavering love of those 1980s cartoons."

Book Reviews

"I ... recommend that you read this book as it takes you to a world of good vs evil, heroes vs villains, origin stories combined with present-day adventure, and fathers and children as you ponder if villains ever make good…"

- Realweegiemidget Reviews

"This book probably has my favorite ending of any book this year."

- SagaofInsanity.com

"As a middle-aged man who still watches cartoons, I loved the concept of this book! As I read and got to know the different characters, I could easily picture myself, sitting on the floor as a kid, eating my Cap’n Crunch and watching these on a Saturday morning."
