COVR AWARDS SILVER WINNER, VISIONARY FICTION
2024 AMERICAN BOOK FEST BEST BOOK AWARDS FINALIST, VISIONARY FICTION
A metaphysical visionary novel that takes readers on a spiritual journey seen through the lens of a paranormal romance between a ghost and a clairvoyant.
Everybody loves a good ghost story, yet poor dead Vee feels anything but "good" being stuck upstage in the heavens of her own afterlife. She can peek in on Val, who's "downstage" with the living but haunted by ghosts. Then there's Julie, stubbornly stage left but longing to be downstage with Val. And finally, poor Peter remains solitary in his stage-rightness with the sneaking suspicion he might be dead wrong.
Trapped at center stage lurks the demon Iago, willing to bridge heaven and hell to exit this cursed performance once and for all.
Just as
Good Omensrevamped the book of Revelation and His Dark Materials reimagined Milton's
Paradise Lost, Iago's Penumbra is a modern love story about the darkness that redeems us, rooted in the works of William Shakespeare-with a little philosophy, physics, and cosmic horror thrown in, just for fun.
PRAISE FOR IAGO'S PENUMBRA...
"I don't think it would be possible to expect anything quite so entirely creative, clever and consuming, full of surprises, romance, drama and, of course, magic... No doubt Will[iam Shakespeare] himself would be proud."
-Emily Carding, author of
So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare
