About Me

Larry C. Soper. First a journalist. Then an author. Finally, a literary excorcist.Larry C. Soper is a former award-winning newspaper columnist turned fiction writer whose fiction is unlike any other in the business today. The thirty-something Soper writes from the blackest depths of the human heart and explores the demons inside the human soul. He brings these demons to life and shows that what we think are universal truths may really be our own lies in disguise. Soper's writing, albeit dark, is witty, quick and extremely vivid. Not for the faint of heart, Soper writes by the old saying, "You gotta lose your path sometimes in order to find it." And readers surely will get lost in the surreal and gritty world of Larry C. Soper's dark fiction.
Soper, an Ohio native, draws ideas from his own life. He has overcome death several times, often as a result of his reckless lifestyle, and has endured more tragedy in his short time on Earth than most people do their entire lives. His experiences have taken him from the shores of Australia to the passages of Alaska, and many other unpleasant detours along the way. While critics may say that Soper walks the high wire too often, readers will surely enjoy the rush as from the ashes of his past, he has risen to recover.
