We are but Shadows eBook Cornelius Clarke Reviews
**This book was provided free of charge by the author in exchange for a review; the opinions expressed therein are my own.**
Forget about haunted houses or spooky hill-top castles, this collection of short stories features a very different type of horror the one experienced by the family next door, the lonely widower you occasionally meet at the post office or the couple on their 10th anniversary cruise, whom you know by name. Some of the stories were chillingly effective, others a bit too horrific for my liking, but there's no denying that all of them were skilfully delivered and should be able to raise a few goosebumps.
i got a free copy of this book to review and went in expecting to have to read it with the lights on. I was only slightly disappointed... The stories are creepy, just not out right scare the pants off of you. This is one of the first horror books I've read that wasn't a full book - so it was different for me. I like the idea of shorter stories, but want them to really pack a punch. I can see myself reading this to my niece and nephew when were camping and sitting around the fire out in the woods. But for me, I need something a bit more scary.
The difference between fear and actual danger can seem subtle at times. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist though.
Mr. Clarke’s characters don’t always make good decisions, but they did capture my attention. Sylvia Layton in “Someone’s Coming” is a good example of how this author manages to create such intriguing characters in a limited amount of space. Sylvia’s saga is told in the form of diary entries that begin soon after she receives life-altering news. Her reaction to what happens is full of all of the mixed emotions I’d expect from someone in that position, and it made the later plot twists even better than they would have been otherwise.
I was surprised to see that this collection wasn’t being marketed to a young adult audience. The tone and subject matter would work better with those age groups than they do for adults. The plots seemed like they were written for an audience that is not as accustomed to the common tropes in the mystery genre in particular given how easy it was for me to predict what was going to happen in advance.
One of the things I like the most about the horror genre is how it can transform even a completely mundane experience into something unforgettable. The most memorable examples accomplish it by picking places, things, or people that I never would have considered scary before. Mr. Clarke has an intuitive knowledge of what will and won’t work with his audience. With a little more polishing and a clearer understanding of exactly what age group he’s writing for, I could see him becoming a very effective mystery and horror author.
We Are But Shadows is a good choice for anyone in the mood for something spooky this Halloween.

The stories lines were excellent. And I really liked the characters. And the writing was exceptional. And I would recommend this book to everyone
I was quite disappointed with this book. I had hoped for a truly terrifying read but was yet again let down.
