Charlie Alessandro is a musician and a marketing executive who ought to be happily satisfied. He is successful in his career, involved with a sleek and confident woman, and enjoying a fulfilling creative outlet with his guitar. Yet his seemingly complete life is troubled at every turn by something dark that happened to him when he was very young. Everything Solid has a Shadow is an intricately plotted novel driven by two intertwined mysteries—his investigation of that long-ago occurrence and the mysterious apparition of a woman he barely knows who invades his brain as he sleeps. Charlie’s journey into these two mysteries, his relationship with three beautiful young women in his life, and the very surprising resolution, make for an eerie and absorbing tale.

About the Author
Midwest Book Review: “Unique, original, and consistently entertaining and showcases author Michael Antman’s genuine flair for narrative driven storytelling.… Deftly written…intricately plotted and thoroughly reader engaging novel that is especially and unreservedly recommended.”
Frank Wilson, The Philadelphia Inquirer: “This interpenetration of dream and reality is what informs Antman’s novel. Charlie isn’t your standard unreliable narrator. He is, rather, a credulous narrator, and something of an innocent.… There is a touch of magic realism at work here, but Antman has cannily kept it light. Charlie tells us one thing after another in his strangely compelling matter-of-fact way.… The final pages may be dreamlike, but they are also deeply touching.”
Becky Walker, Readers' Favorite: “The narrative in this novel is a literary joy. It is well scripted and the language elevates the storyline well above the ordinary. Michael Antman's characters are multi-faceted and believable, the mystery compelling, and the psychology fascinating. I really enjoyed putting the pieces of the puzzle in place and, alongside the main character, trying to fathom the relevance of his past experiences and dreams. All in all, I felt completely drawn in and can highly recommend Everything Solid has a Shadow to those who want a story with great prose, interest and depth. Well done on an ace book.”
