Shadow Plays

"If The Twilight Zone ever makes a comeback, they need to give J. Patrick Lemarr a call immediately. The man knows how to do creepy, hair-standing-on-end fiction, yet always with a deep moral core that will leave you pondering life's greatest questions. Be sure to share this book with someone you care about, because you're really going to want to talk to someone after reading these stories." - Robin Parrish (from the foreword)

J. Patrick Lemarr temporarily leaves behind the fantasy of his Tales of the Evermore series to deliver 15 new tales. Exploring the darkness and light found within humanity and beyond, each story stretches beyond traditional genre boundaries to give us snapshot of the sacred and the profane, the broken and the beautiful. Whether it is the tale of a minister with something to hide or a would-be mass murderer with an imaginary friend, Lemarr uses each new story to reveal the darkness creeping into the edges of our world and the light of friendship, family, and faith that somehow manages to break through it. And wherever darkness and light can both be found, storytellers have always leaned into the dichotomy to craft their SHADOW PLAYS.
