ABOUT THE BOOK
WELCOME TO GOAT VALLEY. WE HOPE YOU SURVIVE YOUR STAY.
Goat Valley Campground has been in Kate’s family for generations. It draws campers year after year . . . as well as creatures from folklore that have made the land their home, their hunting ground, and their portal between worlds.
As campground manager, Kate must do whatever she can to keep her campers alive and the monsters contained, including making some basic rules on how to survive your camping experience. Still, not everyone gets out alive.
And now the threat of decapitated campers are the least of Kate’s worries, as one of the most dangerous, insidious inhabitants of the campground is determined to claim the land for himself . . .
Based on the popular r/nosleep reddit stories, The Man With No Shadow is the first novel in a horror series which will terrify you and make you laugh in equal measure. The Lady in Chains is the second in the series, with the next book releasing in Fall 2026.
