"Shadows, Legends and Secrets"
A Collection by John Urbancik
Cover Art by John Pierro

SOLD OUT

The wind and the muse, musicians and dancers, witches and gods... eight dark tales from the mind of John Urbancik in which the world we know exists collides with the world we wish and fear to believe in. Where mythology and history come together, in the shadows, you will find legends still live and secrets yearn to be discovered.

Praise for Shadows, Legends & Secrets

"With Shadows, Legends & Secrets, John Urbancik establishes himself as an important voice in contemporary fantasy fiction. While so many of today's fantasies are pale pastiches of J. R. R. Tolkien or Dungeons and Dragons, Urbancik reinterprets ancient mythology in the mode of Charles de Lint. It's writers like this that will save the fantasy genre from the inbreeding that threatens to destroy its relevance. Urbancik's arrival should be greeted with cheers."
Garrett Peck, co-editor of Personal Demons and Tooth and Claw

"With Shadows, Legends & Secrets, John Urbancik firmly establishes himself as one of the most exciting and talented dark fantasists to emerge since Neil Gaiman. Dripping with terror and wonder, this collection is a magically poetic thrill ride through realms we've but briefly glimpsed-- and some we were afraid to even glance into. Urbancik sees what dwells there, and he exposes its horrifying beauty."
Brian Keene, Author of No Rest For the Wicked, 4X4, and Love and Worms
