Description
*ANTHOLOGY*
Ancient peoples knew there were lands given over to shadow and spirit. The world is full of haunted places that exact a terrible toll on trespassers. Our forebears paid a heavy price to earn the wisdom and the warning they bequeathed to future generations.
Time transformed their precious knowledge into superstition, but there are those whose hearts beat in rhythm with the past and whose vision is not clouded by modernity. Seeking to reclaim humanity’s early secrets, the Umbra Arca Society was forged. For centuries, this private league of explorers dedicated their lives to uncovering the oldest mysteries of the Americas. Armed with boldness and guile, and equipped with only a compass, a journal, and devotion to truth, these adventurers braved cursed landscapes, dared unnatural adversaries, and exposed hidden civilizations.
Many did not survive.
None were forgotten.
Their stories are maps revealing the topography and contours of landscapes unimaginable and dark. The Shadow Atlas collects their adventures.
Edited by authors and folklore enthusiasts Carina Bissett and Hillary Dodge, and four-time Colorado Book Award finalist, Joshua Viola.

Featured Reviews
I do believe that this is the first 5 I have awarded an ARC. Even books I think are really great, I typically score a 4; 5s are for the books that absolutely blow me away. I stumbled upon Shadow Atlas when perusing the NetGalley site to see if my favorite authors had any new books coming out. I searched both Josh Malerman and Owl Goingback so I was twice thrilled, even more thrilled when this request was approved.
All I can say is wow, wow, WOW. I just loved everything about this book. This collection was magical to me because it's just so unique. From the "emails" to the poetry; from the short stories to the "case files." And the artwork! I absolutely loved the artistic components of this book, both the wordful and the pictures. I read a lot, but it's not often I can lose myself in a book. When reading Shadow Atlas, I became enveloped by it and engrossed by it.
A collection by various authors with their own styles , each piece of Shadow Atlas fit together like an intricate and beautiful jigsaw puzzle . . .
I loved it!
