It’s Seb’s last day working in Turkey, but his friend Oz has been cursed. Superstition turns to terror as the effects of the ancient malediction spill over and the lives of Oz and his family hang in the balance. Can Seb find the answers to remove the hex before it’s too late?

From Kev Harrison, author of The Balance and Below, journey with Seb, Oz and Deniz across ancient North African cities as they seek to banish the Shadow of the Hidden.

Critic reviews

“Shadow of the Hidden takes the reader on a whirlwind and heartrending adventure through Turkey and North Africa, embracing culture, cuisine and curses along the way. A trip of a read! I loved it!” —Catherine McCarthy, author of Mosaic and The House at the End of Lacelean Street

“Kev Harrison is the master of folklore. Shadow of the Hidden takes us on a global thrill ride, weaving in memorable characters and parts of the world horror tends to ignore. I adored it.” —Dan Howarth, author of Territory and Last Night of Freedom

“Fast-paced, riveting, and rich with culture, Shadow of the Hidden does not pull punches but certainly pulls heartstrings. Harrison weaves together an unsettling yet wondrous story about adventure, friendship, and the ultimate sacrifice backdropped by the beautiful Middle East.” —Mona Kabbani, author of The Bell Chime, Vanilla, and For You

Such a creepy story that just evolves and gets more disturbing the further you dive in. Genuinely haunting. Kev Harrison also manages to create believable and likeable characters who you really are rooting for. It appears well researched with lots of relatable anchors to cling to, be it known landmarks, foods, drinks and that hard to capture human touch. The narration is also superb, really bringing these characters to life, pacing is spot on and overall it's a really enjoyable listen (assuming you like being creeped out). Highly recommended to anyone who likes a well told ghost story.
