Dystopian fantasy novel written by first-time author Andrew Casher '24 explores meaning of life

English major and newly-published author Andrew Casher '24 remembers going to the library when he was younger and finding a book that truly piqued his interest: "Silver" by Chris Wooding, a children's book about a silver beetle that turned people into monsters with a single bite.

"I remember it ended on a cliffhanger," Casher said. "The main characters were taken away in a helicopter, and I found myself asking: What happened to them? I went online to see if there was a sequel-there wasn't-and there was a whole forum of people talking about the book."

That's what he hopes to accomplish as an up-and-coming author: create a story so captivating that it leaves people wanting more.
