The Shadows

by Alex North
The Shadows - Thryft
The Shadows - Thryft

Dark horror tale with a sinister character.

"The Shadows" could be a good read for fans of the horror genre who enjoy stories about murders, copycats, and characters with dark imaginations. The book is based on the story of a murder committed by a teenager named Charlie Crabtree, who becomes a figure of infamy after disappearing following the act. The protagonist, Paul Adams, is forced to confront his traumatic past when he returns to his hometown, facing strange incidents, copycat murders, and the horror of the unknown. The book offers a unique blend of classic horror and inventiveness, creating an absorbing tale that leaves readers wondering.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

You knew a teenager like Charlie Crabtree. A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat.Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul’s friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and senile, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home.It's not long before things start to go wrong. Reading the news, Paul learns another copycat has struck. His mother is distressed, insistent that there's something in the house. And someone is following him. Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago.It wasn't just the murder.It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again...
