Shadow Creatures: A story of Resistance

Chris Vick tells ReadingZone how his latest novel, Shadow Creatures, was inspired by his family's experiences in Norway during World War II.

Chris Vick's new novel, Shadow Creatures, explores the impact of the German invasion on a small community in Norway, and the many acts of resistance by its people

Vick tells ReadingZone how he has drawn on his family's stories from World War II and Norwegian myths of the Underjordiske, or 'shadow creatures' to explore life under occupation.  Through the stories of two sisters, he examines the moral questions faced by the community, and asks the reader to consider who is right, who is wrong?
