A Host of Shadows

"Everyone carries a shadow," wrote analyst Carl Jung, "and the less it is

embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."

Few of us see the shadow with any clarity. Turn around for a peek, it slips

away. Our violent, sexually tinged fantasies are indulged regularly in

darkened theaters, savored in eerie prose, celebrated in song, sometimes

reluctantly encountered within the depths of a reoccurring nightmare. When we

do look hard at one, long enough to recognize it as our own, the experience

can challenge reality. We can then choose to become wiser as a result--or spin

totally out of control...

How many fragments of a shattered mirror could you examine and still survive?

In this collection, his first in nearly ten years, award winning author Harry

Shannon gives us twenty three short stories, some published here for the first

time. - See more at:
