Amazingly heart-pumping, terrifying glory!
Dixon has a magic pen, accompanied by imagination, that delves deep into the terrifying horror stories. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it, goosebumps and midnight screams and all. The characters were real, eccentric, and magnificently depicted. This author brings the story to life. Hmm, a horror with secrets, darkness and nightmares, is something that just draws the reader in (if you love a good horror story). It's not cheesy horror, it's detailed and believable horror, set off by darkness and fears. Yes, the shadow that is in the shadow, and only lingers when you least need it, when you're already vulnerable. Catherine and Lyrica are unforgettable characters, but the shadow will stay with the reader for quite some time. And when you read it, every shadow around you makes you jump! That's how good the writer is at setting the scene and bringing the story into the believable. I mean, who doesn't believe in spirits and evil? The Shadow of a Shadow is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.
