Prepare to be transported to the 80s films you know and love, with a dark sideways look at fandom, fame, and legacy. The Shadow Glass sets out its stall as a loving tribute to the puppet fantasy extravaganzas of Jim Henson, but manages to build its own cohesive world, injecting more than enough 'grown-up' concerns (alcoholism, death of the maker, difficult family relationships) to prevent the nostalgia from ever becoming cloying. Josh Winning has a very deft hand with action sequences and making the unbelievable seem both normal and inevitable (seriously - puppets come to life!) and you'll race through this book wanting to know if Jack and his growing cast of friends and companions-in-arms, both human and kettu, manage to overcome forces of both greed and supernatural darkness. An absolute treat of a book for anyone who's ever dreamed of entering the Labyrinth.
