ACT I Cover by JWhitnee (https:///www.jwhitneyart.com)
===========
After over a year of work, I'm so excited to share Shadow's Prey with the world. It went through an entire rewrite. I was able to work with an amazing illustrator, JWhitnee, to help bring scenes from SP to life. I taught myself how to do block carving and printing to create chapter headers that are unique to each episode (even the ones that look the same are all individual prints from the same block). And I even dove back into website design (you can check SP on the web @ www.shadowsprey.com).

All this so that I could tell a story that I felt deserved to be told, whether or not anyone at all listens (though y'know, its super cool if you do.)

Albert Camus is my absurdist philosopher bae. The title of Shadow's Prey comes from this quote by him, so it only makes sense that it be the epigraph for the first Act of SP:

"But I don't care for normal love when I'm entirely drawn to violence and screaming. And that's probably not smart. But now what does intelligence do to me? You see, I put everything here, blue on white, and don't hide anything anymore. But I'm not putting on enough screams and enough fever yet. For almost a week now, I've been silent, I've been shutting it down, I've been keeping watch and I've been ruminating. But I who have spent my life mastering my shadows, I am now their prey, it is with the shadows I struggle."

(& we have one more content warning for good measure.)

See ya'll SATURDAY for the first two episodes of Shadow's Prey!
