“Joseph O’Connor’s magnificent novel does even more than fly, it soars.”—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post ([ Ссылка ])

WINNER of the “Novel of the Year” prize at the 2019 An Irish Post Book Awards, Shadowplay is set during the golden age of West End theater in a London shaken by the crimes of Jack the Ripper. The novel follows Bram Stoker’s extraordinary experiences as the manager of the Lyceum Theatre and his friendship with theater impresario Henry Irving and actress Ellen Terry.

Stoker’s early morning walks on the streets of a London terrorized by a serial killer, his long, tempestuous relationship with Irving, and the closeness he finds with Terry, inspire him to write Dracula, the most iconic and best-selling supernatural tale ever published.
