The Hero Behind the Door

Elias is a man in his thirxties, living in a single rented room. To his housemates, he is a ghost a silent figure who appears only to use the kitchen or bathroom. But in his mind, he is the Guardian of the Pixel Realm, a valiant knight whose sacred duty is to defend his world from hidden threats. A kitchen broom becomes his mighty sword; a trip to the supermarket, a perilous quest. Inspired by the true story of a neighbor's secluded life, The Hero Behind the Door is a stunning work of empathetic imagination.
It is a profound re-telling of one man's internal reality, exploring the epic quest for purpose and peace that can exist within four silent walls. This novel is a poignant reminder that the most heroic battles are often the ones we cannot see.
