~ CHARACTERS ~Descriptions & Excerpts
| | We are proud to introduce the debut of the
first novel in the Shadow People Trilogy,
Shadow People:
QUICKENING OF THE WICKED,
a dark tale of horror and a majestic tale of hope
for a world immersed in fear.
Planet Earth: A resplendent and pristine garden
paradise,
spins now swathed and tainted with violence and disease,
pain
and poverty, greed and apathy. Like a dark, murky halo,
misery radiates
outwards from the dazzling sphere,
dense and heavy into the atmosphere.
It
is the Ancient Ones who recognize the formation of the
massive shadow
as an entity of all Earth's suffering and sorrow.
These Great Ones discern the sinister shadow as fashioned
of fear and the essence of human negativity.
This colossal
shadow known as THE WRAITH circles the world
of wretchedness. It
soars high in the darkness of night, seeking
out the most heinous and
the most despicable of humans.
It possesses many, instantly coagulating
their blood, bursting
their hearts, collapsing their brains. It is
their detestable souls
it wants. It captures their departing spirits. It alters and mutates
them into black, ghostly minions. Commanding its
newborn
shadow soldiers to destroy and multiply, they instinctively
possess humans, turning them into savage, murdering zombies. Having
been fashioned from a human spirit, these newly spawned
shadow banshees
are not as strong as their miscreant creator
is nor as immediately
destructive to their human host bodies. The
ill-fated, over-shadowed
humans however, directly begin to
exhibit symptoms like that of
terminally advanced diseases and experience a rapid deterioration of their flesh
and they cannot live
to be held captive long. Their minds and wills are
controlled
supreme with extreme violent tendencies; their only mandate
is to kill. These senseless zombies, with broken and decaying
bodies
pushed beyond their corporal limits are unable to find
release even in
death. At the demise of their pawns, the shadows
quickly transmute the
departing spirits into shadow people thus expediting the shadow and the
zombie population exponentially
around the globe.
The shadows,
indestructible and hindered only by light and
sunshine, seek to
eradicate all humans and their lower life
cohabitants and usher in a
new world that emits such an infinite
darkness that it will consume the
power of the sun.
The tale is character driven by three
individuals.
GRACE (19 years), LILY (5 years), and AEDEN (397 years),
are aligned along the west
coast of northern California.
The story alternates between these three,
on separate paths
in cities far removed and in lives most dissimilar,
as they seek physically and spiritually to find each other.
For
collectively, if they can find the strength and
the will to survive,
they share one destiny.

"Their writing is bold and unafraid to
attract readers of all audiences, whether it be fans of [paranormal]
romance, zombie-blasting survivalism, or those with an interest in
metaphysics. Stephens and Jackson do not disappoint with this timeless
tale of light vs. darkness with
a contemporary twist."
- Karina Alvarado Woody's Books
"With
its stellar detail and build up, SHADOW PEOPLE has some truly intense
moments of terror, and some real passionate moments of hope. ShadowPeople: QUICKENING OF THE WICKED is story telling at its finest. It is
a dark, majestic tale that has something for every reader to enjoy."
- Jentry D. Alexander House of Productions

on their quest."
- Nick Abreu Pro Media
Customer Comments:
"Die-hard zombie fans will not be disappointed with this book.
There is enough gore for even
Peter Jackson (a la Dead Alive),
but still substance to make for
an excellent read."
"I couldn't put this book down!"
"...The story is excellent. I didn't want to put it down
once I started reading. The story has an intriguing, and unusual,
origination story for the 'shadows' and zombies that quickly over run
humanity. Be warned, there is some graphic zombie violence, yet there are also some uplifting moments of humanity while following the intertwining stories of the three main characters..."
"Disturbing..."
"This
book has one of the most unique takes on zombies that I have ever seen.
It has the feel and pace of a horror story, yet still manages to
maintain a sense of...spirituality...for want of a
better word."
