Why read it?
1 author picked Shadows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the best Horror novels I’ve read – very unsettling and creepy, and eminently memorable.
This novel won’t be for everyone; it’s brutal, pulls no punches, and is evocative of the risks writers like Clive Barker take in their writing. Shadows is one of the best examples of South African (that is, written by a South African) horror that I’ve read.
From Dave-Brendon's list on speculative fiction by South African authors.
