The Shadow Fabric 

Mark Cassell

*****

Leo remembers little of his past. Desperate for a new life, he snatches up the first job to come along. On his second day he witnesses a murder, and the Shadow Fabric – a malevolent force that controls the darkness – takes the body and vanishes with it. Uncovering secrets long hidden from humankind, Leo’s memory unravels. Not only haunted by the past, a sinister presence within the darkness threatens his existence and he soon doubts everything and everyone . . . including himself. 

Now Leo must confront the truth about his past before he can embrace his future. But the future may not exist. 

The Shadow Fabric is a thrilling, fast-paced page turner. An exquisite dark story woven with the brilliant supernatural twist, it leaves no room for error. A mixture of characters that leap off the page with their realistic flaws and personalities.

Mark Cassell has a remarkable way with words and is a riveting story teller and weaver of dark tales. The horror elements were both unnerving and raw, leaving me wanting to find out more yet dare to tread deeper and find the secrets of the Fabric.

Set in a small town, actually, village. I don't live too far off from where this takes place and the descriptions were amazingly accurate with flawless metaphors throughout.

This is the first book I've read from the author and I have not been disappointed. An original idea that was expertly woven and with a decadently dark imagination with some nightmares in intertwined.

And like this to infinity, I would highly recommend.
