What are the characteristics of modern the shadow novels?
In these novels, the setting often plays an important role. It can be a gloomy or mysterious place, much like a shadowy alley or an old, dilapidated mansion. The use of light and dark imagery is common too. The shadows might represent the unknown, the things that people are afraid to face or understand. There could also be a psychological aspect, where the characters are haunted by their own internal shadows, such as guilt, regret, or repressed memories.
