Product Description
Product Description
Young Mark Arsenault is haunted by a flickering, ghostly figure, and by a bestial presence lurking beneath his skin. As he comes of age, he learns they are far stranger than he could have dared guess; their fates entangled with the fabric of reality itself. Pursued by government agents, Mark struggles to understand his true nature, to save the woman he loves, and to prevent a cosmological catastrophe. To do so, he must become the thing he has always feared most, a creature of Norse myth too terrifying to unleash in this world.

A Werewolf Legend for the Nuclear Age, 21 Jun 2009
By D. Salerni - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shifted (Paperback)
Growing up in the era of 70's horror films and comic books, Mark Arsenault knows perfectly well that the dark monster lurking within him, struggling to get out, is properly called a "werewolf." Yet, he does not fit all the classic descriptions of a werewolf - "It" wants out all the time, not only during a full moon, and the touch of silver does no harm to him. Also, no part of the werewolf legend can account for the Ghost - a shadowy but familiar figure which tries to guide and educate him - or his occasional glimpses of the future.
The government psychologist who treats him, ever since Mark nearly killed a band of teenage boys who assaulted him, seems to know more than he's telling about Mark's condition. Dr. Simmons offers refuge at a special government camp for "hyper-aggressive boys" like Mark, but "Ghost" keeps warning him that dire consequences will result if Mark agrees to go ...
Shifted is more than a werewolf story. While drawing on some classic elements of your typical werewolf legend, Colin D. Jones's novel breaks new ground in the genre, producing a theory for lycanthropy that incorporates quantum physics and the multiverse theory and even traces its roots back to the Viking ulfhedinn, or berserkers. The result is a taut, well-developed novel that is more science fiction than horror and completely enjoyable by a wide range of readers.

A tale with an unusual twist.. or wag?, 20 April 2011
By Jordan hackney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shifted: A Novel (Kindle Edition)
I read shifted, and i was very pleasantly surprised. this tale goes far from where you expect it, but it does so naturally and without being forced. I was very delighted in the characters and the explanations of everything. I don't want to fgive any spoilers, but it is a very good read and i highly recommend it.
