Shadow of the Hidden: A Novel of Adventure Horror (Paperback or Softback)

“Shadow of the Hidden takes the reader on a whirlwind and heartrending adventure through Turkey and North Africa, embracing culture, cuisine and curses along the way. A trip of a read! I loved it!”
—Catherine McCarthy, author of Mosaic and A Moonlit Path of Madness

“Kev Harrison is the master of folklore. Shadow of the Hidden takes us on a global thrill ride, weaving in memorable characters and parts of the world horror tends to ignore. I adored it.”
—Dan Howarth Author of Territory

“In Shadow of the Hidden, Harrison constructs a maze of grimy streets, dusty crypts writhing with ancient horrors, and thronging crowds full of leering menace. This one will stay with you.”
—Zachary Ashford, author of Polephymus and The Morass

“Fascinating, richly textured and genuinely unsettling, Shadow of the Hidden is a horrifying delight from start to finish—and a refreshing change from the usual horror themes and setting. Highly, highly recommended”
—T.C. Parker, author of Salt Blood, Hummingbird and To Coventry

“Fast-paced, riveting, and rich with culture, Shadow of the Hidden does not pull punches but certainly pulls heartstrings. Harrison weaves together an unsettling yet wondrous story about adventure, friendship, and the ultimate sacrifice backdropped by the beautiful Middle East.”
—Mona Kabbani, author of The Bell Chime, Vanilla, and For You
