They have watched from the shadows since the dawn of time. Jealous gods who once ruled a young planet. Seeking a return to their former glory. A prehistoric dagger, discovered in Antarctica, is stolen to repay a gambling debt, but falls into the wrong hands, unleashing an ancient presence upon an unsuspecting world.

Only one person stands in their way, a brain damaged four year old whose fathomless black eyes control the secrets life and death, and what lies beyond. They will do anything to destroy this child. But his father is determined to protect him at all costs.

The battle between good and evil is joined in the snowy foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. While in the balance hangs the future of mankind, and his place at the top of the food chain.

Praise for Shadows of the Past

I enjoyed reading SHADOWS OF THE PAST. The story is an engaging one that for the most part is well-written and suitably frightening. Character development is good and we are given enough of Sam’s past to pity him, while at the same time wanting to tell him to get it together already!

SHADOWS OF THE PAST is a horror-filled ride that left me white-knuckling all the way to the end! The subplots, such as the death of his wife, and the injury to his son, as well as his teen daughter's escapades into crime, lend an even more realistic feel to the story. Charlene Gamble Literary R&R

SHADOWS OF THE PAST is a nail-biting, spine-chilling read that will take readers to the edge of their seats! Richard knows how to crank up the tension and bring out the scary monsters:

I would place Mister Schiver's talents in league with Neil Gaiman's. He shines in his ability to let dialogue propel a story. That is trickier than it may seem, but the talented writers do it with an effortless grace.
