Sinopsis

The shadows were never meant to be noticed. Predators upon the human psyche, waves of a primordial Tide, they’ve lingered obscure beyond the opaque curtain of perception, specters with unknowable purpose, presences terrible to experience, yet easily dismissible in the light of day. In the town of Timberdam, the curtain is beginning to tear. For Cain Greyon, it tore long ago. His nightmares were once perceived as sleep paralysis. He knew they heralded something more to come, something born through him rather than from him, which he came to call the Walker-Dark. Now, from the mist wanders Roam, the Wanderer, an ancient shadow given human form by means even he does not understand. His instincts and impulses feel new, yet borrowed, and he is driven to explore them amid Timberdam’s citizens as Elliot Fog. In those he meets, he finds some whom he might find easy prey, while in others, reason to worry. And in one, his ultimate reason for being … a love which could be easily dismissed, yet terrible to experience.

Reseña del editor

On the outskirts of Timberdam there is a mine, abandoned years ago, to where some of the town's citizens are drawn. They gather here to flee a common nightmare, seeking safety through use of an experimental drug which promises relief. Once imbibed, its users ache for the high, their dreams growing clear and vacant, though for at least one of these troubled dreamers, the vacancy heralds his own nightmare's release. Now a shadow wanders through the city, a paranormal predator whose psychic rake casts out in search of the most sumptuous minds to taste, identities to devour, and the woman the shadow finds could be his greatest feast, or seduce him into oblivion alongside her tragic fate. Meanwhile, an old fortune-teller works to weave the threads of her visions together, as she knows well the dangers posed by shadows and nightmares thus unleashed. Yet even with what powers she possesses from her blessed heritage, she finds there can always be blindness as mists of doubt confuse her sight.
