Jack Mann was actually E. Charles Vivian, who decided to use the Jack Mann pseudonym for his supernatural novels involving Gees. This book's dedication is to Harry Stephen Keeler, Ramble House's favorite author, and we have been wanting to publish this novel for years. It's extremely hard to find. MAKER OF SHADOWS sends Gees into the countryside where he meets a beautiful illusion named Gail. But he also runs into more illusions that are far more sinister -- and real.
