Book Review: THE SHADOW: THE GROVE OF DOOM By Walter B. Gibson *** out of ****

Offbeat, highly atmospheric adventure of The Shadow, with an engulfing sense of foreboding, and a strange, terrifying finale. Its confined setting makes proceedings a bit repetitive towards the end, but the reveal of the villain and the thrilling climax pick things up again.

A fan favorite, probably due to the unique nature of the villains and the marvelous escape sequence in the middle of the story. Highly recommended.
