Weepers
What if there’s life hiding all around us? Life that feeds on our emotions, our sanity, even our souls? When 19 year old Samuel Sharpe roams the streets of D.C. after his father’s funeral, he witnesses a bizarre confrontation and finds himself drawn into an underground group of vigilantes – the Weepers – who battle a ubiquitous evil called the Infra. These strange creatures hide in the infrared spectrum and latch onto their victims, devouring emotions and consuming minds. Sam needs the Weepers to give him purpose, but they need Sam to find the truth that even they can’t see. Can Sam, haunted by his past and fearful of his future, take on an enemy that may know him better than he knows himself? A supernatural adventure with an action twist, Weepers is a spiritual tale of life, death, and the redemption we all hope to find.

About the author
R. Cadell Cook II
3 books1 followerR. Cadell Cook, II was born in Washington, DC in 1982 and grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. He and his older sister were encouraged to be active in the arts and Cadell found refuge in all things musical. By his senior year in high school, he had progressed to four different instruments in four different school bands. While composing music and lyrics was a common past-time, he craved a way to fit long, dense stories into the limited structure of pop music.
After graduating from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2004, with a B.A. in Music Recording Technology, Cadell’s career in the post production audio industry began. Mixing and designing audio for programming rekindled the desire to create memorable stories and he began to wonder if the stories from his younger years would fit better in other formats. He initially thought of writing scripts, but the cost of producing a polished independent film was out of the question.
A final nudge of motivation arrived through a surprise injury to Cadell’s left eye. A curtain of darkness lowered as his retina slowly detached, causing partial blindness. After two surgeries in the span of two weeks, Cook had to spend 50 minutes out of every hour laying face down, completely immobilized. To help cope, a friend introduced him to Stephen King’s audio book series “The Dark Tower.”
There was the answer. Not only was this a dense narrative, full of interesting characters, supernatural beings, and plot twists, but it came wrapped in a package that called to every fiber of Cadell’s creative being. And so, the author was born.

It's hard to be bias with this one. It's possible that I wrote it. Check out what Jessica Johnson had to say after reading...

With the recent death of his father, Sam seeks to find belonging amongst a mysterious group of parkour-ing boys, whom have waged war in a secret battle. Along with Sam you begin to see things around you differently in this engaging read.
