Through these Winning builds a picture of The Shadow Glass, a story centred around the hero kettu, a fox-like puppet called Dune, who saves the land of Iri from the clutches of the amphibian-like skalion race and their evil queen, Kunin Yillda, who the Kettu’s have been in conflict with for centuries. Iri must be saved, the puppets must return to their world, and Jack must finally confront his past.Įach chapter begins with different excerpts from film reviews, to transcripts of YouTube Videos, script segments from The Shadow Glass screenplay, magazines articles, or interviews with Bob Cormac. Unfortunately Jack doesn’t believe any of this is real, but with the help of an excitable teenage fanboy, a group of quirky Shadow Glass guild members, and a short tempered studio executive cousin, they band together to conquer the impossible. The puppets from the movie are alive, Iri, the world they live in, is on the brink of destruction and the only one who can help save it is Jack. When Jack returns to Bob’s house it is with much resentment and reluctance, but what he finds forever changes the course of his life. The Shadow Glass opens with our main protagonist Jack returning to his childhood home some time after his father had passed away. Much to his son Jack Cormac’s dismay, his father became a hero to these people, whilst beneath the surface their relationship became estranged. Yet the film did eventually find its audience and so it transformed into a ‘cult puppet masterpiece ’ among its fan base. This film had been Bob’s lifelong dream, a passion, an obsession, and it’s failure had left him broken. To share his love for the golden age decade which brought us fantasy films featuring puppets on high-stake quests, Winning delivers an 80’s nostalgic revival tale which will have you longing to crack out those VHS tapes and become lost in an era of magic, adventure and escapism.īack in 1986 a film by Bob Cormac was created, The Shadow Glass was born and released into the world only to become a flop at the cinema.
The Shadow Glass is the remarkable upcoming novel by Josh Winning. “One Kettu is worth a thousand armies, if she has courage deep and blade sharp.”
