Shaun Jeffrey

About

Shaun Jeffrey was brought up in a house in a cemetery, so it was only natural for his prose to stray towards the dark side when he started writing. He has had two novels published, 'The Kult' and 'Evilution, and another novel due to be published soon, entitled, 'Deadfall'. He has also had one collection of short stories published, 'Voyeurs of Death'. Among his other writing credits are short stories published in Surreal Magazine, Dark Discoveries and Shadowed Realms, and a future story due in Cemetery Dance.

Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

<span style="font-size:12px;"></span> <p style="margin-bottom:0px;" class="style7">“With <em>Kult</em>, Shaun Jeffrey hits one out of the park with this creepy, character-driven thriller that starts with a jolt, stays in the fast lane, and plunges into the darkest territory of the human mind. It’s a bumpy ride through nightmare country.” </p> <p style="margin-top:0px;" class="style7">--Jonathan Maberry, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of <em>PATIENT</em> <em>ZERO</em> and <em>PUNISHER: NAKED KILL </em></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0px;" class="style7">&quot;<em>The</em> <em>Kult</em> is a creeping stalk through a shadowy labyrinth of thrills and terror. Shaun Jeffrey delivers a pulse-pounding novel of superb skill and unequivocal horror. Fans of many genres should be ready to embrace one of the brightest new talents on the scene today.&quot;</p> <p style="margin-top:0px;" class="style7">--Jon F. Merz author of Parallax and the Lawson Vampire novels</p>
