Dromen & Schaduwen Reeks

Deze serie dompelt lezers onder in een parallelle wereld bevolkt door whisky-drinkende geesten en grofgebekte tovenaars. Het volgt de verweven levens van twee jonge mannen wiens geesten al sinds hun jeugd verbonden zijn met de andere wereld. De vertelling belicht gevoelig en hoopvol een bovennatuurlijke cultuur die griezelig veel op de onze lijkt. Dit is een meeslepend verhaal over opgroeien en de confrontatie met een onontkoombaar lot, rijk aan mythologie en gedetailleerde wereldopbouw.

    In the debut novel DREAMS AND SHADOWS, screenwriter and noted film critic C. Robert Cargill takes us beyond the veil, through the lives of Ewan and Colby, young men whose spirits have been enmeshed with the otherworld from a young age. This brilliantly crafted narrative - part Neil Gaiman, part Guillermo Del Torro, part William Burroughs - follows the boys from their star-crossed adolescences to their haunted adulthoods. Cargill's tour-de-force takes us inside the Limestone Kingdom, a parallel universe where whisky-swilling genies and foul-mouthed wizards argue over the state of the metaphysical realm. Having left the spirit world and returned to the human world, Ewan and Colby discover that the creatures from this previous life have not forgotten them, and that fate can never be sidestepped. With sensitivity and hopeful examination, Cargill illuminates a supernatural culture that all too eerily resembles our own. Set in a richly imagined and constructed world, complete with its own richly detailed history and mythology, DREAMS AND SHADOWS is a deeply engaging story about two extraordinary boys becoming men.

    Compared by many to Neil Gaiman but also praised for establishing his own unique, powerful yet warm voice C. Robert Cargill has now moved his brilliant contemporary fantasy into a new world, a new mythology. Two boys, spirited away into a dark world of myth and folklore that has lived, grown and changed alongside our world, have grown into men and now make their way. But faerie has not forgotten them, it never could, they wield too much power, too much hinges on them, so it reaches out again. And a trip to Australia becomes a terrifying adventure amongst new gods, new spirits, new embodiments of an ancient land and power.
