Jeff Cook

Jeff Cook pounces onto the literary scene with a fascinating first novel, Woe to the Hunted, that is one of the more interesting concepts in storytelling to grace the bookshelves in some time.

Cook is a writer, a composer, an inventor, a painter, a mathematician fascinated with physics, and while that may sound like a man who is a bit unfocused, for this his first literary adventure Jeff Cook employs all of these interests in an informed and polished manner.

‘The average bad memory haunts you…but a memory so horrible that your mind won’t allow you to even think of it, doesn’t haunt you. It hunts you. As it remains dormant through the years, you become increasingly unaware of its presence, though you somehow feel all along that something’s stalking you. Then one day, bang! Shot in the back.’ Read more
