📝 Description: Shadow Dance

From New York Times and USA Today bestseller Michael Prescott, author of COLD AROUND THE HEART and BLOOD IN THE WATER, comes SHADOW DANCE, a chilling tale of nightmarish suspense. Little Timothy Cutter has a secret. He knows the truth behind his parents' inexplicable deaths. He knows about the runa: ageless, bodiless, a shadow thing that invades a human host and steals its victim's soul with a kiss ... Robert Thorn, too, has a secret. Twelve years ago he unleashed the runa on the world. Ever since, he has been stalking it across two continents, following a trail of corpses that cast no shadows. He has sworn to stop the runa ... and Timothy is the key. Only one thing stands in Thorn's way-Dr. Rachel Weiss, the therapist assigned to help the traumatized boy. In the concrete canyons and shadowed hilltops of Los Angeles, Timothy, Rachel, and Thorn find themselves locked in a deadly dance, as mankind's oldest enemy inexorably closes in ... Out of print for two decades, SHADOW DANCE is now available, newly revised, in this special e-book edition.

Horror desk

Michael Prescott delivers a chilling tale that effectively merges gothic horror with modern suspense. The concept of the 'runa' offers a fresh twist on classic vampire mythology, focusing on soul theft rather than mere blood consumption. The dual perspective of the traumatized boy and the relentless hunter creates immediate tension, grounding the supernatural elements in human emotion. While the plot relies on familiar thriller structures, the execution is tight and atmospheric, particularly in its depiction of Los Angeles as a landscape of hidden dangers. This book suits readers who prefer horror with a clear narrative drive and active protagonists rather than slow-burn dread. It is an accessible entry point for those new to supernatural thrillers, offering excitement without excessive complexity.
