About the Book

Ohno Hoia is a guardian of a mysterious collection of seeds and a lonely soul tormented by her hideous, malignant shadow. What world did she come from? What century? She can't remember. She is a stranger to herself, a God's mistake. Driven by the desperate wish to break free from the shadow and save the seeds, Ohno arrives at present-day California's desecrated shores. There she plants a garden the likes of which had not been seen since the days of Eden. While the garden's extraordinary power shocks humanity out of despair and transforms the land, Ohno's shadow grows fiercer and soon begins to threaten everything she holds dear. Now Ohno has no choice but to follow her tormentor as it takes her into the surreal, terrifying wilderness of her own soul - The Forest of Everlasting Night. There she must meet the demons of her own making and ask the question she is dreading most: Who am I? Even if the answer kills her. Even if it already did... A spellbinding blend of dark fantasy and satire perfect for fans of Clive Barker's "Cabal," "Midian Unmade," Angela Carter, Neil Gaiman, Kazuo Ishiguro.

Review :
"A chilling and deeply psychological horror work that forces us all to face the deepest fears of our souls..." K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite "Dark fantasy at its best, Umbra is a story that is symbolic, fertile in the interpretations it allows readers... A spellbinding story that had me enthralled and completely pulled in. This is a story for readers who are seekers." Romuald Dzemo, Readers' Favorite "I never read anything so beautiful and unnerving at the same time. Yana Barbelo crafts a tale that is imaginative yet intriguing, delighting readers and frightening them at the same time. The writing is incomparable... You need to read this story to discover its beauty." Ruffina Oserio, Readers' Favorite "The creative genius of this novel is fascinating. The protagonist is not the usual day-to-day character confronted with a conundrum, but an enigmatic, symbolic character who reflects the story of humanity. This is a unique tale that inspires and ask important questions about life, light, and where we come from." Gobi Jane, Readers' Favorite "A term has emerged to describe a study in literature that pertains to the sense of the fantastic, to distinguish the primary universe created by God and the secondary universes created by man: "Umbra" exemplifies what is heterocosmic fiction. With its taut pacing and engaging narrative, Umbra reads like a cross between Clive Barker and Haruki Murakami and merits a wider audience for this novel." Vincent Dublado, Readers' Favorite "When Umbra ended, I was left with a powerful feeling of sadness, and equally powerful feeling that this is a story that must be read not once, but several times, to fully appreciate all its nuances... Overflowing with symbolism and philosophy and allegory and Deeper Meaning, Umbra is a Monumentally Original Work of Art. It is in the top five of the most enjoyable and personally rewarding edits I've ever done..." Kevin Cook, Editor "Barbelo's close attention to the sights, sounds, and evolving horror in this already-destroyed world captures tension in an excellent blend of horror and literary inspection. This will delight audiences looking for a haunting story of moving homes, murder and plague, demons and darkness, and spiritual devotion alike. While Christian readers may find some of the spiritual components disturbing, the ultimate result is a simmering work of visionary horror that weaves a question of identity and purpose into a larger quest for the truth in a strangely altered world. This evocative story of freedom and redemption is highly recommended for horror, visionary fiction, and speculative literature readers alike." D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews
