THE VICTIM WAS YOUR FRIEND
It was just a silly game to start with. Paul never really believed in it.
He never dreamed Charlie would take it so far.
SO WAS THE MURDERER
For twenty years, Paul's tried to put his past behind him, but now his mother is dying, and he can't run any longer.
But home isn't just full of bad memories. It's also the last place anyone saw Charlie alive.
And Paul starts to wonder if Charlie might come back to finish what he started . . .

If you likedThe Whisper Man, you'll love this. Alex North has crafted a second novel which is just as gripping as his first and even scarier.Hugely atmospheric and deliciously creepy, it's about how the past encroaches on the present, and how dreaming influences reality, until in the frightening world ofThe Shadow Friend, it becomes harder and harder to tell one from the other... and the nightmare takes over
This isabsorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own...As with all the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of wonder
North has returned with another creepy, atmospheric taleexploring the devastating effects of childhood traumas on communities . . .Builds to a surprising and moving finale that will live long in the memory
With echoes of the chilling Slender Man myth, this thriller ultimately feels like a ghost story conjured out of guilt and loss
Northfollows up his sensational debut, 2019'sThe Whisper Man, with another terrifying spine-tingler... The complex plot shifts smoothly between past and present withnumerous unexpected twists. An overwhelming atmosphere of doom and disaster hovers over the perennial darkness of the nearby woods.This heart-pounding page-turner is impossible to put down
The layers of deception make for a chilling read
A chilling read
Included in 'The Week's Best Books - The Creepy One'
A chilling and deeply psychological read
Included in'The Hot List'
