About this product
Product Information
Dark Crystal meets About a Boy in a thrilling race against the clock to save the world in this nostalgia-infused adventure! Jack Corman is failing at life. Jobless, jaded and on the 'wrong' side of thirty, he's facing the threat of eviction from his London flat while reeling from the sudden death of his father, one-time film director Bob Corman. Back in the eighties, Bob poured his heart and soul into the creation of his 1986 puppet fantasy The Shadow Glass , a film Jack loved as a child, idolising its fox-like hero Dune. But The Shadow Glass flopped on release, deemed too scary for kids and too weird for adults, and Bob became a laughing stock, losing himself to booze and self-pity. Now, the film represents everything Jack hated about his father, and he lives with the fear that he'll end up a failure just like him. In the wake of Bob's death, Jack returns to his decaying home, a place creaking with movie memorabilia and painful memories. Then, during a freak thunderstorm, the puppets in the attic start talking. Tipped into a desperate real-world quest to save London from the more nefarious of his father's creations, Jack teams up with excitable fanboy Toby and spiky studio executive Amelia to navigate the labyrinth of his father's legacy while conjuring the hero within--and igniting a Shadow Glass resurgence that could, finally, do his father proud. "There's a stirring sense of adventure, excitement, and terror running throughout...this is a treat for fans of the movies that inspired it." - Publishers Weekly 'The fantasy adventure my 80s-loving heart needed! Loaded with unforgettable characters, a thrilling quest, and the best 80s pop culture references, I loved every moment.' - Kat Ellis, author of Harrow Lake ' The Shadow Glass is like the old children's movies it worships: sometimes dark, but never heartless; gritty yet soulbaring. It embraces its referents as a whole: their beauty with their ugliness, the healing power of nostalgia with its potential to poison the present. But it never goes cynical, never loses faith. It stands proud with a VHS copy of its favorite movie held aloft, daring you to say it's not the greatest film ever.' - Edgar Cantero, author of Meddling Kids 'Wonderful. A bold and heartfelt adventure from another world, another time--and our own.' - Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning writer

'The fantasy adventure my 80s-loving heart needed! Loaded with unforgettable characters, a thrilling quest, and the best 80s pop culture references, I loved every moment of The Shadow Glass .' -- Kat Ellis, author of Harrow Lake 'Josh Winning's The Shadow Glass is like the old children's movies it worships: sometimes dark, but never heartless; gritty yet soulbaring. It embraces its referents as a whole: their beauty with their ugliness, the healing power of nostalgia with its potential to poison the present. But it never goes cynical, never loses faith. It stands proud with a VHS copy of its favorite movie held aloft, daring you to say it's not the greatest film ever.' -- Edgar Cantero, author of Meddling Kids 'Epic, edge-of-your-seat fantasy in its own right, with just enough horror to keep things interesting. The world-building is fantastic, but it's the beautifully drawn characters that I think will capture readers' hearts, as they force us to think about growing up, growing old, and the importance of hanging on to that sense of wonder that the best fantasy (like The Shadow Glass itself) can inspire.' -- Elizabeth Corr and Katharine Corr, authors of The Witch's Kiss trilogy 'Henson Heads, rejoice! Of the myriad of pleasures Josh Winning conjures within his stunning novel The Shadow Glass, perhaps my personal darling is the rendering of a complete and hereunto unexplored cinematic fantasia that could easily stand alongside such practical FX classics as The Dark Crystal , Labyrinth and The NeverEnding Story . I was instantly transported back to the video store of my youth, sent down the fantasy aisle once again, where these pre-CGI pleasures of puppetry reside... and magic still exists.' -- Clay McLeod Chapman, author of The Remaking and Whisper Down the Lane 'Packed with heart and featuring a plot as fiendish as any Goblin King's labyrinth, The Shadow Glass is a masterpiece! -- William Hussey, Award-winning author of Hideous Beauty and The Outrage 'A blast of big-hearted fantasy fun, The Shadow Glass will have 1980s nostalgists digging back through their VHS collections with glee.' - Matt Glasby, author of The Book of Horror 'Josh Winning's The Shadow Glass is a thrilling and deeply emotional coming-of-age-in-your-30s quest that perfectly conjures up the feeling of being a viewer fully immersed in the tantalisingly dark worlds of Jim Henson's 1980s fantasy films while also weaving a heartfelt tale about grief, denial, the complicated relationships between parents and children, and reconciling one's childhood with the adult you've become. It also has a great deal to say about fandom as a force for good, with its ability to draw together and inspire a community of like-minded individuals with a shared passion, as well as bad, in the form of its most toxic, gatekeeping members who stifle creativity and change in the name of purity. Suspenseful, funny, imaginative, and often as creepy as a Skeksis banquet, The Shadow Glass is a must-read for any fan of Henson or '80s fantasy in general who ever dreamed of what it might be like if the Creature Shop actually came to life.' -- Robert Berg, HensonBlog.com

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
