They have this magnum opus by, um, L. Andrew Cooper…
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 both 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.
Another experimental/surreal journey by Jacob Floyd…
The world broke, and he’s been rushing to fix it ever since—piece by excruciating piece…
Prepare for a surreal and fragmented tale of madness and love living in nightmares and illusions; suffering, violence, fear, sorrow, obsession, and isolation fall through the fragile prison, tumbling through the quiet, chaotic catacombs of creation.
HEARTS IN THE HOURGLASS is a scattered story about the monsters of a man, a fighter who has failed, and the endless pursuit of an elusive force. It is a walk through a realm of space and time in the shadows of Cosmic gods, a broken soul, and a fractured mind where, underneath an existence where nothing makes sense, everything is as one.
The weird and wonderful meet good and evil, light and dark, and the gray ambiguous spaces in between, in this absurd unhinged journey through a wrecked world without boundaries or rules, seen through eyes with disjointed vision.
All is separate, yet all is one…
Or how about a combination of superhero action with Lovecraftian cosmic horror…
Adam always keeps his powers in check. As the world’s only superhero, he must know his limits. Defeat the master criminal, repel an army, stop a natural disaster, but never let himself go too far.
Until Syangnom.
The world has grown accustomed to the feats of its only superhuman. Adam’s wife, Sara, a celebrated journalist and periodic hostage, regularly reports his exploits, and the agents of Extra-Judicial Affairs handle all the legal issues.
But when Adam becomes enraged in the reclusive regime of Syangnom, he leaves 14 million people dead and the world recoiling from the destruction he has wrought.
Now Adam’s wife Sara and EJA Agent Pia Mercado must track down the conspiracy behind Adam’s breakdown and discover the otherworldly source of his powers. Their search will bring them face to face with supervillains, eldritch gods, and the mysterious figure who defends Chicago from the shadows, the armored hero known only as No One.

Welcome, ladies and gentleman, to Retro Horror…
