A recent review in The Standard by Victoria Nicolaou featured Steve H McLellan, the author of the book In Spirits Shadow, as a fast-paced debut that blends history, suspense, and science fiction. The feature highlights how McLellan draws on his lifelong love of literature. Described as the first novel in a planned trilogy, the book is presented as a gripping thriller with a fantastical foundation and broad appeal across age groups and genres.
In Spirits Shadow follows famous figures from history who, at the moment of their deaths, are taken by a benevolent species and tasked with secretly protecting Earth throughout time. When an intergalactic war threatens the planet…these figures must work with modern political leaders and military forces to stop a ruthless invader without causing global panic. Along the way, they face confusion, mistrust, personal struggles, and layers & layers of espionage.
Steve H McLellan was born and raised in southern Ontario and developed a passion for reading at a young age. After careers in insurance and with the City of Mississauga, he retired in 2016. After a heart attack, he committed to pursuing writing and later earned a B.A. in History from York University in 2024. He lives in the Niagara Region with his wife and dog.
