I received an ARC of this book to review. This is a collection of short stories and novellas that have as a common thread the interaction between humans and supernatural or alien beings. The first novella - Frozen Shadows - reminded me a lot of Stephen King's "It" and many of Robert Mccammon's works. This is high praise coming from me as those are two of my favorite authors. These are dark stories. No benevolent spirits here. There is evil afoot, and not all of it from the supernatural world. Al...

I won this book through Goodreads and agreed to give it a honest review. FROZEN SHADOWS is the second flip book and I'm so glad it was read next! Sean O'Donnell went to live with his grandparents after his dad had been killed in the war and his mother's recent death when she was involved in a car crash. At age six, he barely knew them but he soon felt comfortable in the little town of Sutter's Creek. At eight he had a beautiful girl claim he was her boyfriend and he discovered a mysterious man t...
I totally enjoyed Gene O'Neill's Frozen Shadows.It involves a pair of eight year old boys and a nine year old girl who cross paths with a shadowless man possessing dark powers. I equally enjoyed Chris Marrs' Wild Woman, the tale of a bullied young girl who stumbles across a giant girl with eyes sewn shut and sleeping in the woods. I highly recommend this double novella selection from Journalstone Books.
These two novella are presented in a single book. Although very different both are equally good. Well suited to a YA audience."Frozen Shadows" by Gene O'Neill is a charming story which starts when a young Sean goes to live with his grandparents following the death of his mother. He and his friends (including future wife Bell) encounter a strange "traveller" who steals children's shadows. Having defeated the stranger once, Bell and Sean are surprised to discover that he has reappeared in another

There were two books in this edition. They were both very different and I quite enjoyed them.Frozen shadows by Gene O'Neill tells the story of Sean and Bell. Twice they encounter an ageless gypsy who steals shadows from children.WildWoman by Chris Marrs is a story of Julie and her friend Yani, who lives in the woods. I really liked the storytelling in this one. I could totally relate to Ghoulie Julie.

Two books in one! The stories don't intertwine or even relate to one another but both have a bit of a dark side. The first story about a shadowless gypsy that steals children's shadows, which causes them to become lifeless causing the town to believe there is an unknown virus spreading. The second story about a bullied little girl who finds a friend in the woods. The story follows the girl into adulthood and a couple episodes when children go missing, do they really know who is kidnapping them?
