Shades is part mystery, part ghost story. It's the account of paranormal investigator, Michael Grainger, set against his experiences hunting and interacting with ghosts – "shades" – and his difficulty connecting with the living. The tale unfolds at Redthorn Hall in York, England where he goes to investigate a haunting. There he studies the ancient history of the Arden family as he explores the elegant house from basement to attic and attempts to make contact with lost souls from the past. He reflects on his relationships, his former ghost-hunting adventures, and his studies of the paranorma. And, ultimately, he solves a 150-year-old mystery and uncovers something far beyond your average, garden-variety haunting. It could very well be Micharl's downfall – or his much-needed salvation.
