REVIEWS

IN SHADOWS

"Chandler McGrew (is) showing us how to scare the pants off readers with his latest paperback original..." 
– The Chicago Tribune

"...a born-to-be-a-TV-series story about a 13-year-old blind and deaf boy who can hear evil spirits, and a 
police officer who gets 
dragged back from Texas to his Maine roots by a force stronger than life." - Chicago Tribune

"In Shadows is actually a finely woven tale of terror-and one of love as well." - Fangoria

So many press clippings will describe an author as the next Dean Koontz. I've heard it and read it so 
many times that the statement has no validity left...until now. McGrew has identity, he has his own stature, 
his own unique spin on the most ordinary of things. However in terms of sheer delight and diverse story 
weaving, McGrew is very much like Dean Koontz. He has the rarest of abilities to delve into so many 
aspects of a story, to really touch just about any genre in some way, using those assets to his advantage. 
With "Night Terror" and "The Darkening" he used that trait, and performed the service well. With "In Shadows" 
he takes that same thought provoking chemistry and turns it into another winning formula.


THE DARKENING

"...cleverly written in a spiritual style that calls to mind Dean Koontz's recent (and better) works... an exciting delight -
