About this eBook

Screenwriter and acclaimed film critic C. Robert Cargill makes his fiction debut with Dreams and Shadows, taking beloved fantasy tropes, giving them a twist, and turning out a wonderful, witty, and wry take on clash between the fairy world and our own.

Something is missing from Ewan and Colby’s lives. Residing in the corners of their memories is their time in Limestone Kingdom, a realm filled with magic and mystery, a world where only some may travel amongst the menagerie of mystical souls and sinister demons.

Cargill offers well-crafted characters and an absorbing, intricate plot that will appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Lev Grossman. Dreams and Shadows pulls you into an extraordinary universe of darkness that exposes the magic and monsters in our world, and in ourselves.

I'm thoroughly impressed with this book! Saw it in the sale section and gave it a shot. Loved it immediately. I fell in love with the characters as fast as I fell in love with the writing style. The storyline was beautiful, had a wonderful introduction and carried all the way to the end with sickening anticipation and surrealism. I look forward to the new book.

I adored this story. At 40, it's become much more difficult to find a story that allows, demands, a sense of wonder, an 'if you but dare to look beneath' feeling. This story accomplished that and I am grateful.

Enthralling and completely delightful and well, full of wonderment! I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Definitely looking into this author more! Don't delay getting these books. I toyed with the thought for a while and eventually gave in and purchased them. I'm so very glad that I did! They read easy but are written beautifully.
