Description
Book SynopsisIago’s Penumbra is a metaphysical visionary novel that takes the reader on a spiritual journey seen through the lens of a paranormal romance between a ghost and a clairvoyant.
Trade ReviewOne of the most unusual books I have read in recent years. To begin with most of the characters are dead right from the start, thus allowing an exploration of life-after-death, the Otherworld, and all points between. Part love story, part metaphysical exploration of loss, desire and wisdom, part occult novel, the author has created an original and at times deeply unsettling account of what it means to be human, what it means to lose humanity, and what it means to discover something beyond the physical, time-bound world in which we live. Rose Guilderstern is an exciting new voice which we will most certainly be hearing from again.

Iago's Penumbra is a rare piece of dark magic leaving you spellbound until the last luscious page.
-- Sasha Graham, creator of Dark Wood Tarot
I do not think it would be possible to expect anything quite so entirely creative, clever and consuming, full of surprises, romance, drama and, of course, magic...No doubt Will himself would be proud.
-- Emily Carding, author of So Potent Art: The Magic of Shakespeare
Iago's Penumbra takes you on an unforgettable journey through the shadows while weaving an exquisite tale of love, life, and the afterlife. Guildenstern's writing has the rhythm and depth of a musical ocean with tides of longing, joy, sorrow, and the inevitable. A deeply satisfying and thought-provoking tale that everyone needs to read.
