Shadow Man

The Middle Reaches, an epic of horror and dark fantasy, begins with Cycle Shadow Man. When five friends reunite to seek the truth about the otherworldly place where their high school friend, Sheldon, disappeared more than a decade earlier, they journey into a dark realm of sex, violence, and creatures hungry to keep them forever.

"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
