Creep, Shadow!

In the atmospheric depths of Brittany, "Creep, Shadow!" plunges readers into a world where ancient legends bleed into modern reality. Architect Alan Caranac's tranquil life shatters when his fiancée, Dauphine, seemingly perishes in a fire. However, her death is merely the prelude to a far more horrifying transformation. Caranac soon finds himself entangled with a mysterious, ageless sorceress, a malevolent entity from the legendary sunken city of Ys, who possesses the chilling power to drain human life, reducing her victims to spectral shadows. As the sorceress stalks Paris, leaving a trail of terrified, desubstantiated victims, Caranac must unravel the cryptic connection between his lost love, the archaic witch, and the dark secrets of Breton folklore. Merritt masterfully crafts a tale of occult horror and weird fantasy, where the veil between worlds thins, and the lines between life and shadow blur, compelling readers into a thrilling quest against an immortal evil that threatens to consume all light.
