![]() He both loves and resents his dad’s creation, much as he both loves and resents his dad. The justified anger and bitterness he feels toward his dad is juxtaposed by a sense of responsibility and a fondness for his dad’s movie that he has pushed down over the years. ![]() Jack is a very real, relatable character. Somehow, they’ve become flesh and blood heroes and villains in a war that has spilled from fantasy into reality. When Bob dies, Jack decides to sell the memorabilia from the cult classic film but plans abruptly come crashing down as he learns that the fantasy puppets are no longer only puppets. He hates Bob’s movie, as in his mind it represents everything that is wrong in his relationship with his dad. As an adult Jack has been estranged from his father, who wasn’t the most present of parents. ![]() Jack is the son of Bob Corman, an eccentric who made a cult classic fantasy movie called The Shadow Glass. This book was a love story to the wonderful, imaginative things I grew up with, and I enjoyed every moment of it. If you ever danced with the Goblin King, if you cried when Artax died, if you were a little bit scared of skesis when you were young – then The Shadow Glass will have you pumping your fist and grinning like an idiot. ![]()
