A malevolent entity that once plagued his older brother is now tormenting Ryan. Already hurting from the tragic loss of their patriarch, the grieving Beckman family must fight like hell to discover the root of this corrosive evil and put an end to a cycle of suffering.

An outstanding debut that does for mental illness what Relic did for dementia, Tyler Chipman’s The Shade gives tangible shape to the darkness that so many suffer from in silence. —Joseph Hernandez
