Interlopers

Archaeologist Cody Westcott discovers an ancient, interdimensional parasite feeding on human negativity, causing global despair and civilizational decay. After accidentally enabling himself to see these invisible creatures, Cody must combat them to save his infected wife and humanity by partnering with a secret, ancient society.

While excavating in Peru, Cody finds an unusual tablet, which he later uses in Arizona to create a potion that unlocks his ability to see the parasites. The creatures are grotesque beings full of teeth and barbs that inhabit trees and stones, feeding on human fear, anger, and depression.

The creatures infest Cody's wife, forcing him into a globe-trotting mission with a secret society to fight them.

SF. Cody Westcott is an anthropologist working in Peru as a graduate student when he makes the find that will change his life. He finds a tablet that leads to a potion that lets him see the Interlopers -- invaders from another dimension who take over and infuence people for evil. They are everywhere. After he is unable to protect his wife it takes the intervention of the Society to free her. This is good but it really feels like it was meant to be the start of a series.

Alan Dean Foster gives explains why misery and suffering exists. It is the fault of the Interlopers, beings from another dimension who exist by feeding off misery and evil itself. The main character drinks a solution that allows him to see these creatures, and the story takes off. The story line is fast-paced and will keep you turning page after page.
