In one of those lovely life coincidences, I looked up Carlos Castaneda today, because I recently published a "children's book" (more on those quote marks in a minute) on the shadows that come alive at night. And I found that today happens to mark the day of Castaneda's death (1998), which his books called "a warrior’s most valuable teacher, counselor, and benefactor."
One of the intriguing things Castaneda wrote about was the predators, or flyers, or mud shadows. A theme he wasn't the first or last to write about, and closely resembling the Gnostic teachings of the Archons. And an overall topic that must have influenced me in 2017 when I wrote my lengthy poem, "The Shadows Come Alive at Night." One that I finally published as a book on Amazon just the other day.

Beginning with the phrase Dear little children, it is decidedly not a book for very young children. Think more of how Roald Dahl writes for both older kids and adults at the same time, including his frequent pokes at adults and conventional thinking, and you might get a better idea of it.
That said, for ages 8 or 9 and up, I suspect it's the only book that playfully but honestly tackles the topic of mud shadows, Archons, or whatever you might like to call them. (I imagine any religion outside of atheism has a name for them.) And so, at last, a confirmation for kids whose parents bizarrely keeping telling them that there's nothing bumping around in the dark at night.
At the moment just available on Kindle, the ebook tells you how to get an audio book version for free as well. Would love to have you give it a read and a listen and -- love it? -- to leave a review. :)
