In addition to being a good description of what I write (as this site’s name suggests), Horrific Scribblings is now my very own indie imprint/press for fiction that is provocative, scary, and strange!
The site where you are now will keep bringing you interviews and updates about my work. Horrific Scribblings will focus on publication news–which will eventually expand to include writers other than myself–and connect you with good reading material. The store, which offers signed books and exclusive short story downloads, is a prime feature. Come! Visit new horrific territory!
L. Andrew Cooper specializes in the provocative, scary, and strange. Works include book-length stories Noir Falling, Alex's Escape, The Middle Reaches, Records of the Hightower Massacre [with Maeva Wunn], Crazy Time, Burning the Middle Ground, and Descending Lines; short story collections Leaping at Thorns, Peritoneum, and Stains of Atrocity; poetry collection The Great Sonnet Plot of Anton Tick; non-fiction Gothic Realities and Dario Argento; co-edited fiction anthologies Imagination Reimagined and Reel Dark; and the co-edited textbook Monsters. He has also written 35 award-winning screenplays. After studying literature and film at Harvard and Princeton, he used his Ph.D. to teach about favorite topics from coast to coast in the United States. He now focuses on writing and lives with his husband in North Hollywood, California.
