Produktbeschreibung
Famous for his long poems exploring the paranormal, the weird, the unexplained, and what makes us human, Matt Bialer turns his poetic talents to the urban legend of the Shadow People. Pat is a cyber-security expert at a software start-up called InterFaze, which was acquired by a Saudi Arabian prince. The prince wants to launch this revolutionary image and face recognition software called FazeLift at a major hacker convention in Las Vegas. Pat must launch the vital cyber-security software called The Dome before the conference, as the prince wants to maximize its publicity. Meanwhile, at home, Pat's ten-year-old son, Jared, keeps waking in the middle of the night screaming, saying a tall being in a long black coat and fedora hat is watching him. His younger son, Max, is also seeing this figure; this man made of darkness. When Pat learns that what his sons are seeing is true, that they're being visited by entities known as the Shadow People, he takes an unexpected trip to Saudi Arabia for answers, and in turn, confronts his deepest fears.
