Description
For Terrence Planter, the fight against addiction is just the beginning. While detoxing, a mysterious voice and terrifying visions suggest his struggle is tied to a deeper darkness preying upon West Louisville. Pulled into a hidden world of spiritual warfare, he's told his pain gives him a unique power. Guided by cryptic mentors and grounded by his connection to Kim, a young woman fighting her own demons on the street, Terrence must confront the true source of the city's hunger. Can a man who could barely save himself learn to fight the shadows that threaten to consume them all?

Person
Brian Eldridge Sr. is a writer and storyteller born and raised in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, now living in Louisville for over a decade. A graduate of Hopkinsville High School and Hopkinsville Community College, Brian began his writing journey in sports journalism, covering University of Kentucky football and basketball recruiting for the Kentucky Sports Report in 2006. He later joined Scout.com in 2010, focusing primarily on football recruiting across the state.
After years of writing fiction on the side, Brian decided to pursue creative writing in earnest in early 2025. That same year, he developed the concept for the Weight of Shadows Universe, a layered and emotionally resonant world that explores identity, memory, and the unseen burdens people carry.
Brian has been married since 2009 and is a proud father of one son and one daughter.
