Other Shadows: Brief Glimpses into the Unknown and Maddening

"It is the unknown that haunts the human mind, the mysteries of madness that create society's norms, the uncertainty of death that makes us cherish life. The spirits of superstition transcend generations until horror stories become real, if only for those so inclined to believe. For what is reality, if not a collection of conundrums that we attempt to attribute meaning to with our beliefs?"In the light, everyone has a shadow. In the darkness of the night, there are other shadows. Restless spirits of those passed on, lingering impressions of intense violence and sorrow, and maladies of madness that convert normal men and women into murderers and lunatics. From the author of The Consciousness Conspiracy comes this disturbing collection of short stories. Intertwining elements of horror, psychology and surrealism, Joseph VanBuren has created a world of fiction that gives the reader brief glimpses into a dark underworld that is parallel to our reality.
