Quest & The Sign Of The Shining Beast

An epic marriage of words and images; a journey into the dark centre of the mind. Deep within the heart of this strange and dangerous world, death lurks behind, stalking ... Here lies the twilight realm of forgotten tomorrows. It is what was, could be, never was. Two tales. Two paths. A single, fractured dream.

Publisher Marketing: "A symbiosis of words and images that propels the reader on a breathless ride into the realms of spirit, wonder, and terror. The words are sharp, the images sublime, the experience unique. This is a book not to be missed." Ian Whates - Author of Pelquin's Comet "Cockshaw's visually haunting images perfectly suit Malan's enthralling storytelling." Jay Johnstone - Tolkien Artist "Epic and haunting. Viscerally realised in a shadowy dream-time, where warrior courage and philosophical questioning are needed to open the way." Ricardo Pinto - Author of The Stone Dance of the Chameleon trilogy "The images impacted on me first. As an artist, that's where my eye was inevitably drawn. A dark journey indeed, through a strange, disturbing abstraction of powerful photographic and digital visuals. I haven't encountered anything quite like it before. But then, engaging with the written story in the first half, and the more demanding poetic concrete of the second half ... it is a symbiosis of words and images that takes one on a darkly epic and nightmare voyage. A quite extraordinary feat of the imagination."
