Shadows 8

Recipe for terror. Take one innocent child with the bizarre power to release man’s darkest, and most hideously violent, nature. Add a lonely teacher who dreams of demonic possession in the arms of a vampire lover.

Stir in a foul, nameless monstrosity born of a strange an unearthly rainstorm.

Combine ingredients in one horrifying volume.

Mix well—and scream…
