Even the greatest heroes face horrors unknown… Hercules, Greece’s greatest hero, lives under the constant haunting of his past. Madness has gripped him too many times, leaving loved ones dead in his wake. When clarity returns, he confronts the nightmarish aftermath. Plagued with his inability to remember his fits of madness, Hercules must battle grotesque monsters and navigate the mind-bending underworld to rescue his friend, Theseus, in the greatest mission of his life. If he succeeds, he might finally reach Olympus, where the gods could offer mercy and heal his shattered mind. But a pair of pale green eyes lurks in the shadows, watching his every move, determined to ensure his destruction. Scorned is a tormented retelling of the classic myth of Hercules. This lurid tale is part of the Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces collection, featuring classic beloved characters twisted into terrifying nightmares.
