    About this ebook

    "A wild trip that keeps you wondering what the hell is going on, it’s an amazing experience. It is highly entertaining read." -  Sci-Fi & Scary


    Jayce’s twenty-year-old daughter Emory is missing, lost in a dark, dangerous realm called Shadow that exists alongside our own reality. An enigmatic woman named Nicola guides Jayce through this bizarre world, and together they search for Emory, facing deadly dog-eaters, crazed killers, homicidal sex toys, and – worst of all – a monstrous being known as the Harvest Man. But no matter what Shadow throws at him, Jayce won’t stop. He’ll do whatever it takes to find his daughter, even if it means becoming a worse monster than the things that are trying to stop him.

      This book was my introduction to the author and almost immediately I knew I'd found a new name to add to my list of favourites. The story is utterly strange, in the very best of ways. Dark, mysterious, unpredictable. An emulsion of dark fantasy and horror set in a familiar contemporary setting that hides something entirely different. Each time I thought I knew the direction the book was taking, it veered off in another direction. There's plenty in here to make the reader uncomfortable, for various reasons, but it's not a book that's easy to put down.Many thanks to Flame Tree Press for the ARC. My review is my honest opinion.
