Deception Pass

Nick Wheeler’s subject matter has always been controversial. A venerated photographer motivated to capture the malign elements of human existence - suicide as illusion and artifice - his career is suddenly in tatters after a near-fatal work accident plunges him into a coma.

A sleep paralysis victim, Nick’s descent into oblivion ushers him back to where it all began: winters spent in the rugged foothills of Deception Pass. It was here, among the secret grottos and old-growth forests, where ancient forces first showed their hand: Shadow Men capable of paralyzing the body and manipulating generations into serving an otherworldly agenda.

To survive, Nick must confront the past … and the Shadows, evermore monstrous disguised by human faces.
