Summary:
A brilliantly crafted contemporary story from acclaimed film critic and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill-part Neil Gaiman, component Guillermo Del Toro, part William S. Burroughs-that charts the lives of two boys off their star-crossed years as a child in the world of magic and secret with their anguished adulthoods
There is certainly another world than our own-one simply no closer than a kiss and one no further than our nightmares-where all the stuff which dreams are made is true and magic is just a step aside. But once you see about Dreams and Shadows: A Book that world, you will never become the same.
Dreams and Shadows calls for us beyond this veil. Once daring explorers and youthful denizens of the marvelous realm, Ewan is now an Austin musician who simply met his fantasy girl, and Colby, on the other hand, cannot escape the results of an innocent wish. But while Ewan and Colby left the Limestone Kingdom as children, it hasn’t neglected them. And in a global where angels loosen up on rooftops, whiskey-swilling genies claim metaphysics with foul-mouthed wizards, and monsters in the shadows prey on fear, you can never outrun your fate.
Dreams and Shadows is a stunning and evocative debut about the magic and monsters in our world and in our self.
