The Middle Reaches, Cycle One: Shadow Man
The Middle Reaches, an epic of horror and dark fantasy, begins with Cycle One: Shadow Man.

“A tale of dark dreams & sharp teeth, L. Andrew Cooper pens a story here that unravels slowly and sweetly, leaving scars imprinted on the reader’s brain.” – Jeremy Megargee, author of Soulmates, Crown of Carrion, and Old Hollow
“L. Andrew Cooper has a knack for writing viscerally, but not just grotesque nor physical viscera on display. Every time I read his work it crawls into my psyche. And that’s where the visceral stuff happens. He makes me feel things that are unfeelable and believe things that are unbelievable and experience things that are unexperienceable. It’s that knack for making nightmares feel like dreams without ever losing their edge. I say knack instead of craft or talent because by God if it was something I could learn how to do I’d be doing it already. I think it crawls out of his heart and his brain somewhere and just spills onto the paper.” – Sean Taylor, author of Show Me a Hero and A Crowd in Babylon

Alex’s Escape
Fourteen-year-old psychopath Alex Packard has his own house, a shadow version of his parents’ house that they helped him build. He takes people there to kill them in the most entertaining ways he can imagine. After murdering his parents, he moves to Los Angeles to live with his married gay uncles, Bruce and Aaron. Alex bonds with his uncles immediately, coming out as gay, too. His bond with Aaron, a documentary filmmaker, tightens as he shares in Aaron’s passion for the camera, and he toys with both uncles, trying to ignite other passions. Meanwhile, he starts bringing beautiful boys and girls from school back to his house, staging more and more elaborate and violent scenarios with them to entertain himself as well as them… but his uncles have suspicions, and Alex leaves clues… and Alex might not understand the enormity of the forces that allow him to slaughter innocents in a shadow world.
“Alex’s Escape is pitch-black coming-of-age nastiness that delights in every transgression a hardcore horror fan could dream… and several more besides!” —Ryan Harding, Splatterpunk Award-winning author of Transcendental Mutilation and Genital Grinder
“A queer phantasmagoria of torturous horror, taboo sex, and supernatural cruelty. Alex’s Escape penetrates deep — in all manner of ways.” —Jonathan Butcher, author of What Good Girls Do and co-author of Motel Styx
“The most twisted and disturbing book I’ve ever read, in the vein of Barker’s best.” —David-Jack Fletcher, award-winning author of Raven’s Creek

Noir Falling
NOW AVAILABLE FROM OUR ALLIES AT NIGHTMARE PRESS!
Daniel Lowe, a presence but not a student at the prestigious University, keeps finding himself in strange situations, not sure how he got there. Color whorls devour people and places, a beautiful woman in a null space called The Blank asks him to save her from her corporate magnate husband, and dozens of missing students might somehow relate to these calamities. With companions such as Chuck Adair, a member of a philosophical Society that crams his head full of big ideas early on, and Voice, a young woman sprung from his head, he traverses hallucinatory landscapes, the interiors of famous paintings, and more on his quest to figure out where a growing mass of “clues” will lead.
Noir Falling blends surrealism with dark noir, dark fantasy, horror, and philosophical speculation, taking Daniel on a wild quest to find out who he is while he tries to save an irresistible femme fatale from an international corporate conspiracy to traffic in the “substance” of art and humanity.
“Noir Falling is a fever dream of philosophical quandaries, wrapped in delicious writing that kept me eagerly reading until the last page. Brilliant.” – M Ennenbach, author of Cuckoo
