Description:
Readers will delight in the wit and danger found in art collector Justin Margrave's adventures in 1970s England. Whether the threat is folk horror or something from another dimension trying to slip through the cracks, Margrave deals with each situation with style and aplomb. Grant's new collection of occult fiction offers a sinister atmosphere accompanying the dealings of the aesthetic genteel and less-than-savory denizens of the world.
Review Quotes:
"Delightful collection of stories that ably straddle the line between horror and historical fantasy." - Publishers Weekly
"An Unkindness of Shadows is a thoroughly absorbing and impressive outing that rings with the voice of a true original, and proves a terrific exhibit for an author that all lovers of the macabre should be reading. There is pathos here, and wit and tragedy. There are secrets, horrors and ghosts." - James Bennett for Ginger Nuts of Horror
"An Unkindness of Shadows; a substantial contribution to the literature of the uncanny-delectably written, disturbing, sometimes chilling but also poignant, ultimately very moving. The field is richer for it and its author. Highly recommended." - Ramsey Campbell, World Fantasy Lifetime Award Winner
