John Linwood Grant
Readers will delight in the wit and danger found in art collector Justin Margrave's adventures in 1970s England. Whether the threat is folk horror or something from another dimension trying to slip through the cracks, Margrave deals with each situation with style and aplomb.
Paperback, 256 pages
Cover and interior design by Jeremy John Parker
"Delightful collection of stories that ably straddle the line between horror and historical fantasy." - Publishers Weekly
"An Unkindness of Shadows is a thoroughly absorbing and impressive outing that rings with the voice of a true original, and proves a terrific exhibit for an author that all lovers of the macabre should be reading. There is pathos here, and wit and tragedy. There are secrets, horrors and ghosts." - James Bennett for Ginger Nuts of Horror
“What I look for in a book, apart from the basic skill of producing an arresting narrative, which Grant has in abundance, is a vivid and original sense of atmosphere and character. I have never before met the people and the worlds contained in An Unkindness of Shadows and yet they seem completely real to me. They thrill me, trouble me, widen my horizons. 'Tell me strange things,' the "Reverend" Montague Summers used to say to his friends when he met them: I feel akin to Summers in that respect if in no other. John Linwood Grant has told me wonderfully strange things, and in a masterly way.” - Reggie Oliver
"An Unkindness of Shadows; a substantial contribution to the literature of the uncanny -- delectably written, disturbing, sometimes chilling but also poignant, ultimately very moving. The field is richer for it and its author. Highly recommended." - Ramsey Campbell, World Fantasy Lifetime Award Winner
