About the Book

It's been a century since "the great consumption." Humanity has been devoured to the edge of extinction by the ever-ravenous Shivers - terrifying, shapeless creatures that latch onto their hosts, tormenting them over time before consuming them all at once. The last of civilization lives in the crumbling city of Atlas, where they subsist on processed insects and await their inevitable fate. Anthem is the city Exilist, tasked with trapping the Shivers and banishing them to the malevolent Deadlands outside the city walls. But Anthem is ailing and destined to soon fall victim to his own Shiver, a fate he's reluctantly accepted. As Anthem begins to withdraw from his world, a threat he's unprepared for comes hurtling home. If he is to save anyone, he will have to travel into the Deadlands in search of a remedy to tame these creatures. But no Atlas dweller has ever made it back alive, and Anthem must confront his own darkness before humankind is forever lost to the monsters in our shadows.

Review :
Soon to be a major motion picture. "One of the most riveting books I've ever read. The book begins in the best, most gut-wrenching way, and it only continues this high threshold... I absolutely loved this book." - Independent Book Review "This is dystopian fiction at its finest." - Readers Favorite "Cembal's thoughtful horror novel is a taut, well-paced read with a remarkably bleak atmosphere. The story compellingly shows how humanity's choices change when dealing with new, dark realities." - Kirkus "I went into this book thinking it would be like any other horror novel... but I had no idea I would find myself crying at the end and forgiving myself for the years of depression and the shame I felt along with it. This is not your typical horror story." - GoodReads "I recommend The Monsters in our Shadows to anyone who loves dystopian novels, nightmarish creatures, and anyone who isn't afraid to face the truth of the demons that hide not only inside our minds but also in our shadows." - Readers Favorite 5 Stars "Skillfully written, it kept me on my toes; there's not a moment when you'll feel relaxed, as the action is nonstop. I can't recommend this novel enough." - Netgalley Review "We all have personal "monsters in our shadows" - Cembal masterfully translates that horrific reality into a stunning novel." - Netgalley Review "Full of bated breath and just the right amount of dread, this is a great horror pick for anyone hankering for something to follow Jonathan Maberry, Josh Malerman or Stephen Graham Jones." NetGalley Librarian "Just when you think dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction has run its course and all the new stuff out there is a combination of recycled ideas or the bones of classics of yesteryear being picked clean, something new pops up...exceptionally clever... a very original take on the dying embers of humanity. The outstanding ending, which beautifully blended action, the primal power of the Shivers and a sliver of hope for humanity". - Tony Jones, Horror DNA "Wonderful story, creative plot- like nothing I've read before. Hell of a ride." GoodReads "This is the first time a book has given me actual nightmares!" Netgalley Review "...a fun, fast-paced, horrifically wonderful, action-packed book!" - Netgalley Review "Wow. Just wow." - Netgalley Review "One of the best books I have read this year." - Netgalley Review
