Alternate timelines, alternate narratives, lucid dreams and twists and turns that leave you completely floored while sending you on a search of your memory or the previous pages to see where it all fits together, or to find where you lost sight of what was happening. Such an awesome story of myth, horror and a town's long unsolved (but not forgotten) crime. The cover is great and immediately caught my attention. Alex North nailed it with The Shadows, I regret not reading The Whisper Man yet and will be reading that as soon as possible. An author well worth your attention! The story evolves slowly, wraps up quite fast and intense with a nice, swift transition between the two. The Shadows is definitely a new favorite that I will be reading again
