The Shadow From the Deep

By Daniel Gonzalez

"A mighty philosophical parable. Literary and powerful." - GoodReads review

"The storm came from the sea where beneath its darkness and weight slept the enemy of man and all the creatures of the land..."

An ancient evil destroys an island village. The survivors starve. To save them, a band of outcasts must venture into the most dangerous place for men: the open sea.

A nail-biting man versus nature tale with a Lovecraftian twist, this terse novel features an ensemble cast, neither good nor evil, confronting monsters, real and imagined.
