HERE WITH THE SHADOWS by Steve Rasnic Tem
Author: Steve Rasnic Tem
“Among my favorite reads are those early 20th century single author ghost & supernatural collections by such British authors as Burrage, Caldecott, Cowles, Dare, & M.R. James—stories characterized by indirection, suggestion, and the careful selection of words. I’ve long wanted to bring out my own version of such a book clearly influenced by my exposure to those collections.” In February Ireland’s Swan River Press presents Steve Rasnic Tem’s Here with the Shadows, a volume of supernatural impressions and quiet vacancies, in an edition of 400 copies. Between these covers lurk the spectres of grief, loss, and loneliness: a man discovers he is far from alone in his empty home, a forlorn wife is gifted with an unusual child, a contractor contemplates the sad message left by a grieving father, a blind woman discovers a spiritual manifestation at the edge of a forest, a spectral presence appears in a lonesome Colorado wheat field … Tem reminds us that sometimes only a whisper separates us from the eternal.
