A brilliantly crafted contemporary tale from acclaimed film critic and screenwriter C. Robert Cargill-part Neil Gaiman, component Guillermo Del Toro, component William S. Burroughs-that charts the lives of two males from their star-crossed child years in the realm of magic and mystery to 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 everything which dreams are created is true and magic is a step aside. But once the thing is about Dreams and Shadows: A Book that world, you will never end up being the same.

Dreams and Shadows needs us beyond this veil. Once bold explorers and vibrant denizens of this magical realm, Ewan is currently an Austin musician who just met his fantasy female, and Colby, in the mean time, cannot escape the results of an innocent wish. But while Ewan and Colby left the Limestone Kingdom as kids, it has never overlooked them. And in a world where angels relax on rooftops, whiskey-swilling genies claim metaphysics with foul-mouthed wizards, and monsters in the shadows prey on fear, you can’t ever outrun your fate.

Dreams and Shadows is a sensational and evocative debut about the magic and monsters in our world and inside our self.
