WINNER: 2020 AHWA Australian Shadows Awards, NOVEL Nick Wheeler’s subject matter has always been controversial. A venerated photographer motivated to capture the malign elements of human existence – suicide as illusion and artifice – his career is suddenly in tatters after a near-fatal work accident plunges him into a coma.A sleep paralysis victim, Nick’s descent into oblivion ushers him back to where it all began: winters spent in the rugged foothills of Deception Pass. It was here, among the secret grottos and old-growth forests, where ancient forces first showed their hand: Shadow Men capable of paralyzing the body and manipulating generations into serving an otherworldly agenda.To survive, Nick must confront the past ... and the Shadows, evermore monstrous disguised by human faces.
An exploration of worlds every day and eldritch, of demons at home and beyond the veil, of broken families and love lost, and of friendship and fraternity. Let Matthew Tait take you by the hand and guide you into the unimaginable. You'll make it back again, but you won't be quite the same.
