Author won a World Fantasy Award. Story is dark and disturbing. Set in Boston and New York. Does everyone have a 'shadow' - a part of themselves living separately but connected - but only a 'gifted' few can see theirs? Or is it a form of split personality, mental illness, or a result of drug abuse? Or are these different people, maybe not even human? A boy watches his mother spiral out of control, he sees her shadow when no one else does, and then can't stop himself being attracted to the danger and thrills offered by his own shadow. As an adult, finally sober, he has to face the consequences of his degradation and sins of his youth before meeting his now fully debauched shadow one last time.
