This dark retelling of the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, will leave fans of Alexis Henderson's The Year of the Witching and Krystal Sutherland's House of Hollow thirsting for more.
"The Shrike and the Shadows is a disturbingly dazzling venture into the depths of not only the woods, but the dangers of human-townsfolk psyche—and the horrifying truth behind folklore. Readers (and most certainly fans of dark historical films "The Witch" and "The Village") will enjoy Gadoury and Wright's inventive take on Hansel & Gretel, and the bloodthirsty entity hunting them."
- Brianna Sugalski, Bestselling Author of Disenchanted The village of Krume is plagued by a haunted wood and a hungry witch.
It's been that way for as long as Hans and Greta can remember, though they have never seen the witch themselves. No one has. When men start to disappear in the cover of night, their bloody hearts turning up on doorsteps, the village falls into frenzied madness.
Hans and Greta, two outcast orphans, find themselves facing accusations of witchcraft and are met with an ultimatum: burn at the stake, or leave the village forever.
With nowhere else to go, they abandon their only home. As they venture into the strange forest, their path is fraught with horrific creatures, wild and vivid hallucinations, and a mysterious man tied to the witch's past. The Shrike is watching, just beyond the darkness of the woods.
