Scenes in dark rooms, across environments and situations pulsate with bloody ecstasy, attraction, and betrayal. We Are the Ones Possessed shows us not only what we''ve had done to us, but what we have done." - Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award nominated author and poet "Cepeda''s haunting poems, inspired by existing written work and visuals, are a medley of daydreams & nightmares, floating in the middle of a fateful dance of death and sex. The winged beauty in the shadows of love/revenge painted by his exceptional verse in We Are the Ones Possessed will take your breath away."- Linda D.
