Saving Shadows
Eugen Bacon
Cover Artist: Elena Betti
NewCon is proud to present Saving Shadows, a volume of exquisite prose poetry and speculative micro-lit pieces by internationally renowned author Eugen Bacon. Forty-eight compositions in all: contemporary visions, twenty-six of which are previously published and twenty-two are originals written specially for this book.
Complementing the written word are a series of full page illustrations commissioned by the author from artist Elena Betti; thirty-five stunning images that enhance the reading experience.
“Saving Shadows is a lightning sizzle of pure poetic energy. Through the prism of sharp speculative fiction, the darkest hues of our world are revealed, reflected, refracted into a myriad of brilliant shards. Each piece dazzles, cutting quick and deep. Absolutely unforgettable.” – Lisa L. Hannett, award-winning author of Songs for Dark Seasons
“Such energy, boldness, and unexpected leaps and turns; whether going at a cracking pace or pausing reflectively, the fiction in this quirky work is vibrant and engaging. As a multi-media work, it is page-turning and confronting. Powerful stuff.” – Dominique Hecq, award-winning poet, novelist, short story writer
The hardback edition of the book (signed by both the author and illustrator) has been printed on high quality silk-finish paper to ensure the interior artwork is displayed to its best advantage.
Limited to 70 signed hardback copies
