Sixteen-year-old Ziggy Bellamy never wanted to move to Elkhorn Ridge-a fog-draped town where the houses whisper, the woods watch, and the stars don't look quite right. But after his father's death and his mother's breakdown, he has no choice but to live with a grandmother who seems to know more about the strange lights in the sky than she lets on. When whispers crawl through the attic walls, when a ghostly girl warns him not to follow the light, and when a mirror becomes a door to something not of this world, Ziggy realizes the town's secrets are far darker than old ghost stories.
Shadows, watchers, and fractures in reality are closing in-and they know his name. With new friends-Luna, who can speak to animals, and Kieran, a boy bound to the breaches-Ziggy must decide what kind of light he carries inside him, and whether it's enough to stand against the darkness waiting just beyond the veil. Ziggy and the Shadows Beyond is a haunting, atmospheric tale of grief, mystery, and courage-a story for anyone who has ever searched the stars for answers, or wondered if the shadows hide more than they reveal.
