Book Cover & Preview Text
"Since the dawn of the beginning of time, the sun would rise daily over the mountain peaks in the east. Its rays would slowly burn off the cold, wet, morning mist, which hung, heavy and dense, as a shroud below the forest canopy. Nowhere could it be seen, or heard, or smelled, or tasted – but, it was there. It could definitely be felt. There was no single shred of proof or physical evidence for its existence – but, it was there. Somewhere, deep in the twisted, green-floral, gnarled underbelly of the woods, it dwelt. Everyone imagined its presence but nobody could figure-out exactly what it wanted or why it wanted it. It would creep-up silently, like an ominous, black shadow under the cloak of darkness – sinister, desperate, all-absorbing and all-encompassing - overwhelming its victim with sheer brutality and unimaginable raw, unharnessed strength."

About the Book
‘Evil in the Shadows’ is a thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats. The suspenseful nature and psychologically-intriguing story line will make it a difficult book to put down. The novel has exciting, mystifying, as well as very creepy elements - combining a thriller, horror and crime story all together. This masterfully-worded work of fiction cleverly intermingles and intertwines all of these complicated elements. It is the story of Scott Robert Falcon Parker, who is a thoroughly-evil protagonist. He was born that way and only becomes worse as we witness, first-hand, his notorious life and hideous deeds. It is about the good and evil in the world. It shows so many underlying things just below the surface of people that one never sees or even thinks can be imagined. The protagonist’s actions will certainly shock and perhaps, at times, even make the reader’s jaw drop. A thriller such as this has not been written in a long time. It is overdue. Hints and glimpses of black art, voodoo, demonology, gothic mystique, creepy horror and young, teenage girls’ worst nightmares are all captured in this unforgettable, haunting novel.
