Collecting Shadows

What is a shadow?

In the 21st Century our scientific minds may dismiss them as simply the absence of light, but a deeper part of our brain still knows them as tangible things full of meaning. Without them, the world would be a bleak, blinding continuum.

Just as shadows make a painting or a film come alive, they define us and our families, our hopes, our mistakes and our dark triumphs. Collecting Shadows represents the seven short stories and a novella from the plural reality of the Hagengard, a particularly baroque and fabulist continent in Ada's World.

Whether you are dragging your hooks through the darkness of your past, yearning to fly away like a raven, or find yourself uncomfortably close to a tank of eels, these stories explore the chiaroscuro of being human in a shadowy universe.
