Synopsis

When journalist Rhea Linden returns to the crumbling village of her childhood, she isn’t chasing a headline she’s chasing memory. A chapel that shouldn’t exist. A girl frozen in time. A house that exhales her name through its walls.
 
Sent to profile the town’s fading folklore, Rhea stumbles on a rumor that won’t let go: some children never cast shadows after dark. The locals dodge her questions. The records don’t add up. And something has been waiting for her to come back.
 
As she retraces the forgotten corners of her youth, what she once called imagination starts to feel real. Whispers slide through the floorboards. Dolls shift when she isn’t looking. A mirror reflects more than her face. Pages in her notebook fill with words she never wrote details only someone inside the house could know.
 
But the deeper she digs, the less certain she becomes. Is she the one documenting the story, or the one being written?
 
With reality bending under her feet and a presence shadowing every move, Rhea must confront what was left behind and what never let her go.
 
Some stories don’t end. They wait. And they write back.
 
Would you return to the place that erased you if it swore to tell the truth?
 
***
 
This novel is part of SHADOWKIN: The Shadow of Death, a chilling series of interconnected standalone paranormal thrillers, where every shadow hides a secret and every story brings you closer to the darkness.
 
In the hidden alleys of forgotten towns and the broken edges of memory, the Shadowkin wait. They’re not just creatures in the dark they’re shaped from guilt, grief, and the secrets we can’t bury.
 
SHADOWKIN: The Shadow of Death drags you into a world where walls breathe, shadows whisper, and silence presses like a weight. Each tale begins with a quiet unease and ends with a truth you don’t want to face: the Shadowkin aren’t strangers at all, but the pieces of ourselves we fear the most.
 
Enter these standalone stories where every truth cuts deeper, and every ending opens another door.

    On a stag party in a remote part of the Lake District, four old university friends are dragged into a bizarre local ritual. Immersed in a fight for their lives - only one of them is guaranteed to make it home… 
    Fifteen years after graduation, four old university friends get together to celebrate Luke’s stag party. Tucked away in a remote village in the Lake District, they expect a weekend of real ale, log fires and gentle hikes – but a stag party of locals have other ideas. 
    Unwillingly drawn into one-upmanship and animosity, the four friends find themselves being hunted across unfamiliar ground in a game of deadly consequences. With only one of them guaranteed to survive, old wounds and resentments threaten to tear them apart as much as their pursuers. 
    Can the four friends unite to fight back, or will they fall, divided and broken? 
    Praise for Last Night of Freedom 
    “Imagine the worst thing that could happen on a stag, then multiply that by a factor of several thousand. Last Night of Freedom preys on the rivalries, bravado, and toxicities on display as unchecked, booze-fuelled egos spiral out of control. This is a novel that takes place at a furious pace across a nightmare weekend, and I loved every desperate second of it.” David Moody, author of the Hater series and Shadowlocked= 
    “Last Night of Freedom is Dan Howarth’s grimy, dread-laden portrait of toxic masculinity and the English countryside. An unflinching depiction of a fetid, primal face of human nature, where barbarism hides behind the rotting mask of tradition. I couldn’t put it down.” Kev Harrison, author of Shadow of the Hidden and The Balance. 
    “Deliverance meets Dead Man’s Shoes… Does for stag parties what Jaws did for swimming.” W.A. Kelly - author of Safe Hands.

    At the Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft is a chilling tale of cosmic horror and psychological dread. Presented as the first-person account of geologist William Dyer, a professor at Miskatonic University, the story follows an ill-fated Antarctic expedition that uncovers ancient ruins and nightmarish horrors buried beneath the ice. As the team explores towering, otherworldly structures and strange hieroglyphs, they come to realize that they are not alone—unspeakable beings, long thought extinct, still lurk in the frozen wastes. 
    Narrated by Michael Lyons, this audiobook immerses listeners in Lovecraft’s haunting vision, bringing to life the sheer terror of confronting the unknown. With its rich descriptions, mounting tension, and overwhelming sense of isolation, At the Mountains of Madness is a seminal work in the horror genre, influencing generations of writers, filmmakers, and lovers of cosmic horror. 
    Originally published in 1936, this novella remains one of Lovecraft’s most celebrated works, offering a masterclass in atmosphere, suspense, and existential terror.

    Call it a premonition. Call it intuition. Call it anything you like, but Pennsylvania State Trooper Jerry McNeal simply thinks of it as “that feeling.” 
    That feeling may come on without warning, so intense he can’t breathe. 
    Or, it may be a gentle nag that pulls at him until he decides to do something about it. He never quite knows what “it” is until he gets there, but when he arrives, he always knows he’s found what he is looking for. 
    During one of the biggest snowstorms of the year, Trooper McNeal feels that familiar stir. An unease that grows with each flake that falls. Its intensity pulls at him until Jerry has no choice but to venture out onto the treacherous roads, following an invisible pull that grips at his very soul. 
    Tonight, that feeling is going to take Trooper McNeal into a blizzard when the streets are supposed to be empty to save a life that would have otherwise been lost. 
    Only tonight, Trooper McNeal is not going alone…
