A campy, funny horror novel about a manager of a haunted campground just trying to get through the season, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix, Welcome to Night Vale and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight.

WELCOME TO GOAT VALLEY. WE HOPE YOU SURVIVE YOUR STAY.

Goat Valley Campground has been in Kateโ€™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 is the least of Kateโ€™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.
