Podcast Description
The autumnal equinox brings a shift in ancient lines of power separating night and day. Creatures banished to the abyss emerge in strength battling for control. When Sean Glynn stumbles headlong into the conflict, he nearly pays with his life. Headstrong and independent, Sean is reluctant to pledge his allegiance to anyone. Who can he trust? The gang leader who keeps popping out of the shadows when least expected? His estranged sister turned born again believer? The biker whose prestidigitation goes beyond mere sleight of hand? Their stories are unbelievable, but someone is telling the truth. Sean becomes entangled with others who have been caught up in the turmoil. Kirsten is obsessed with a phantom lover. Tim watches his daughter transform into a nightmarish creature that only he can see. This reluctant trio faces an impossible task that can sway the balance between light and dark. If they can make it through the ordeal alive, they will discover how deep lies the shadow. AUTHOR’S NOTE 11/29/2009: After receiving feedback from several listeners, I’ve decided to remix my podcast. In the coming weeks, you’ll be able to download full chapters from my novel. I am also revamping several of the theme songs and cutting back on the background music to make the narration easier to manage. I want to thank Lisa, in particular, for her feedback and suggestions. I hope you enjoy How Deep Lies the Shadow and will share it with your friends. --Marcus DeHart

Customer Reviews
Engrossing and Original
This is a secret gem amongst the current crop of original, author produced podcast fiction out there.
I loved the depth of this sometimes creepy tale. It has body swapping, dark vs. light, and even a genie in a body.
And it all comes from a believable place.
I bet this would get many, many more listeners it were also available on Podiobooks.com.
It's a great mystery and thriller and is full of a certainty that very few "new" writers possess.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
More to come...
Now that I've worked out the bugs with the server, I'm revisiting and remixing the podcasts to include an entire chapter in each episode. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback. I hope you enjoy How Deep Lies the Shadow.
Good changes for an interesting story!
I listened to the original podcast and while I had some issues with the production, I was very engaged by the story premise. Therefore, I was pleased to see that the author/reader had decided to "tweak" the podcast and is now putting the remixed version up. I am glad to be able to continue following the characters and am looking forward to more posts!! Thanks for not giving up; I want to see where this story goes!
