Synopsis

"Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world." - Percy Shelley What if we told you Shelley was right? What if there were a cabal of ancient, interdimensional, supernatural men and women who have enabled human progress over generations? What if they've been creating, in darkness and in light, to save us all? Join novelist and literary scholar, Jordan A. Rothacker, as he shares his discovery of Maawaam, a Shadow Man, and a secret society of Shadow Men and Women who have been with humanity since the dawn of time. Will Rothacker uncover the source of Maawaam's power? Or will the answers within his Shadow Book drive Rothacker mad? When knowledge literally equals power, the shadows become more appealing than the light...

About the Author

Jordan A. Rothacker is a poet, novelist, and essayist living in Athens, Georgia where he earned a Masters in Religion and a PhD in Comparative Literature at the University of Georgia. Rothacker majored in Philosophy at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York and his life has been split between Georgia and New York (where he was born); he dreams of going west.

For book length work check out Rothacker's The Pit, and No Other Stories (Black Hill Press, 2015), and novella (or "micro-epic" as he calls it) and his first full-length novel, And Wind Will Wash Away (Deeds Publishing, 2016). His fiction can also be found in The Cost of Paper: II (2015), The Cost of Paper: III (2016), and The Cost of Paper: IV (2017), anthologies from Black Hill Press edited by William M. Brandon III. He loves sandwiches (a category in which he classifies pizza and tacos) and debating taxonomy almost as much as he loves his wife, his son, his dogs, and his cat, Whiskey.
