The Shadow - Paperback

by Matthew Thornton (Author)

After being discharged from the Marines, decorated veteran Sebastian moves to the quiet farming town of Pretton, Missouri, hoping to escape the memories of war and start a new life. But the farmhouse he purchases hides a dark past that refuses to remain buried. Soon after settling in, strange disturbances begin to shatter his peaceful routine-objects move on their own, belongings are destroyed, and surveillance cameras capture a disturbing figure: a black shadow moving through his home.

When Sebastian discovers the house was the site of a brutal murder decades earlier, he realizes the haunting may be tied to the tragic history of the family who once lived there. Determined to reclaim his home, he seeks help from a priest to cleanse the house of the evil presence. But their attempt unleashes a far darker force-one driven by revenge, deception, and a twisted truth hidden in the past.

Now Sebastian must face an enemy unlike anything he encountered in combat. As the violence escalates and the body count rises, he must rely on faith, courage, and unexpected allies to stop a supernatural evil before it destroys everyone who stands in its way.

The Shadow is a gripping supernatural thriller about trauma, justice, and the terrifying consequences of releasing something that should have remained buried.
