Blood and Shadows was published by Vertigo in 1996. For small-time gumshoe Chet Daly, the world is East Texas of the 1940's; Dusty, dreary and dull... But real. The missing person case started out as a favor for his girlfriend and seemed cut and dried - easy. Before long, however, Chet finds himself on the trail of a grisly serial killer, uncovers a collection of horrifying trophies... and learns the terrible secrets of an ancient blasphemous book. In Chet Daly's world, the eons-old monstrosity known as the God of the Razor can't really exist - yet how else can he explain the abhorrent events that haunt him and threaten to destroy everything he believes in and loves? Teetering on the edge of madness, Chet is drawn ever further into a relentless swirling abyss that will sweep him across time and space, ultimately bringing him face to with an unkillable monster.
