The Shoemaker's Magician

Another gripping and terrifying Chicago-based homicide mystery from acclaimed Bram Stoker Award-winner Cynthia Pelayo—with a haunted media twist.

From a Bram Stoker Award-winning author, a cult horror fan discovers that something sinister is at the heart of a series of brutal killings in Chicago.

A fabled lost movie. An increasing body count. How much do you risk for art?

Paloma has been watching the Grand Vespertilio Show her entire life. Grand, America's most beloved horror host, showcases classic, low-budget and cult horror movies with a flourish, wearing his black tuxedo and hat-but Paloma has noticed something strange about Grand.

After Paloma's husband, a homicide detective, discovers an obscure movie poster pinned on a mutilated corpse, she knows that the only person that can help solve this mystery is Grand. When another body appears at an abandoned historic movie palace, the deaths prove to be connected to a silent film, lost to the ages, but somehow at the center of countless tragedies in Chicago. Paloma soon becomes trapped between protecting a silent movie that's contributed to so much death in her city and the life of her young son.

With The Shoemaker's Magician, Cynthia Pelayo continues to establish herself as one of the most powerful voices in riveting, thought-provoking dark fiction.
