Shadows Live in the Darkness by Mr Mark A. Anderson is a horror story for teenagers. The characters -- Charles, Myron, Joe, Karl, Kathleen and Ann Marie -- are just normal teenagers who find themselves in the midst of some disturbing happenings at night with eerie creatures and shadows walking around. They realize that there are some creepy things happening at night and they are out to find out the cause.
The book has horror, intrigue, mystery, and suspense all woven together. The uniqueness of the book is that the author has succeeded in creating a new theme by making the shadows come alive. He has chalked out their characters on the same lines of blood-sucking vampires. Here, instead of vampires, shadow people do the same thing.
Shadows Live in the Darkness gives you an eerie feeling while reading it. The theme is very original making it an interesting read. The shadow people are so scary that you think twice before switching off the light at night in case they come to life.
The author's imaginative theme manages to evoke a lot of fear and suspense in the minds of the reader. Will the teenagers be able to solve the mystery of who these shadow people are? Will the residents of the town help them in driving away these fearful, scary shadows?
