Hero is brought to you by two modern day horror maestros - Wrath James White and J.F. Gonzalez - both of whom are known to bring edgy and original stories to print. This particular book was originally released as a hard-cover only four years ago and was been long out of print until Deadite Press decided to re-release it in a more affordable and easy to get form.

The book follows an elderly lady called Adelle, a former civil rights activist, who has a stroke and needs the constant care at home of a nurse. The lady put in change of Adelle's care is Natsinet, a young lady who doesn't see a lady needing help but the cause of her own childhood problems and goes on to torture Adelle.

The book is very well written and the authors have done a good job at making an evil and realistic female villain which moves the story along at a good pace. The story as a whole also does a good job at making you root for Adelle, you feel sorry for her when she's being tortured and want Natsinet to be found out.

If you pick up this book you won't want to put it down - brilliant.

I read this for the second time this year.
This is another amazing book from WJW, but I could barely contain my anger while I was reading it!
An elderly civil rights activist is tortured beyond understanding by her newly hired, sadistic 'nurse'. If this wouldn't have been an electronic copy of the book, I'd have thrown it against the wall twenty times.
I love the heart of her neighbor - the neighborhood's king thug. Amazing human being.
Amazing book! Highly recommended.
