GP Taylor, a former Anglican minister, self published Shadowmancer, his debut novel, in 2002. Published by Mount Publishing, it was picked up by Faber and Faber in 2003. The first instalment on Taylor’s fantasy fiction series, it was followed by two thematic sequels, Wormwood and Tersias and a direct sequel titled The Shadowmancer Returns: The Curse of Salamander Street. Stylistically similar to C S Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, it was written as a protest against some of the dark themes prevalent much contemporary fantasy fiction such as His Dark Materials. The story takes place in Whitby and concerns the evil sorcerer Rev. Obadiah Demurral and the struggle to prevent him acquiring two powerful amulets. This true first edition is scarce, and this copy complete with Taylor’s dated signature and the publishers embossed stamp.
