Praise for L. Andrew Cooper’s previous works:

Leaping at Thorns: “…takes me back to… those sleepless nights of reading Stephen King’s Night Shift and Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. Cooper can scare, shock, and more than that, get you to think about things you never considered before, and perhaps were frightened even to contemplate. A real triumph!” — Michael West, bestselling author of Cinema of Shadows, Spook House, and The Wide Game
Leaping at Thorns: “serious short story skills… from thought-provoking stories to down-right creepy tales” — Hellnotes
Descending Lines: “a Grand Guignol cat-and-mouse tale… grisly… unsettling… an undeniably horrific thriller” — Kirkus Indie Reviews
Burning the Middle Ground: “highly recommend it for hardcore horror fans… its well-drawn characters, action and suspense will be the gory icing on the bloody cake!” — Target Audience Magazine
