    Good and Evil. Two sides of the same coin? Or something less defined, something more liminal? Entertaining and always thought-provoking, author J.M. Frey offers a collection of remarkable short stories that explore the grey area of the hero/villain dichotomy in this debut short story collection. 
          
          Heroes. Villains. Monsters. Fairy Tales. Myths. Legends. 
          
          Who is the good guy, who the bad, and who gets to decide which is which? After all, 'hero' is just another four letter word.
