Grudging Tolerance of Where the Shadows Are Shown (from more successful authors)

“Buckle up, because Josh Schlossberg runs us through a gamut of emotions in this stellar horror collection, from touching poignancy to the absurdism of high comedy. Together, these stories offer a unique vision and voice in the literature of the uncanny.”

-Douglas Ford, author of The Trick

“Where the Shadows Are Shown seethes with tales of hubris, vengeance, and ill-intentions. Here, exposed for all to see, is the dark side that lurks within us all.”

-Shannon Lawrence, author of Myth Stalker: Wendigo Nights

“Josh Schlossberg reveals some of the darkest aspects of humanity, then strips away the veil, exposing the black beating heart that lies beneath the surface. Where The Shadows Are Shown is a masterclass in storytelling and Mr. Schlossberg is a master shadow-shower at the top of his game.”

-Daemon Manx, author of The Ojanox Series

“Schlossberg delivers tales that revere a natural world inhabited with characters spoiled by yearning, anger, and entitlement. Where the Shadows are Shown is an original collection that is witty, surprising, at times gross, and always scathing in its assessment of humankind.”

-Angela Sylvaine, author of Frost Bite and The Dead Spot

“With these tales, Josh bleeds onto the pages his passion for all the wonders of the world diluted with an undertone of dread and hopelessness. As reliable as our shadows, the darker aspects of human nature are on full display here: the propensity for rage, envy, lust, and violence, tainting such sacred ground. Each tale is unique; brutal yet subtle in delivery.”

-Mark Towse, author of Nana and Chasing the Dragon
