The Shadows is one of those books you don’t want to read at night when you’re home all alone. It was really creepy and had me jumping at every little noise in the house!
When Paul Adams was a boy, a kid in his circle of friends was brutally murdered by Charlie Crabtree, a social outcast at his school. Crabtree ran away into the woods and was never seen again. He has morphed into a boogeyman legend of sorts; everyone knows who he is and many believe he’s still out there wandering the woods.
As an adult, Paul is lured back to his childhood home when a copycat killer appears to be walking in Charlie’s footsteps. On top of that, Paul’s mother insists someone has been in the house. Despite a traumatic childhood full of memories he’d rather forget, Paul returns home to face his demons and possibly Charlie Crabtree himself, if the legends that he’s still out there are true.
