Something along the shore is drawing children to watery graves.

Cooper M. Reid has seen the impossible. As a former Special Agent for a covert government division, he spent years investigating time vortexes in Kansas, demons in Norway, and UFOs in Jerusalem. But when he went rogue, he vanished without a trace.

Nearly a year later, Cooper reappears with no memory of where he’s been or what happened to him. All he knows is this: he is being led to help people who are being tormented by the supernatural… and he must remain hidden from the people he once worked for.

This newfound instinct brings him to a beachside community in North Carolina, where children have been drowning under mysterious circumstances. The loss is devastating, but the real horror lies in what drew the children to the ocean in the first place.

Dark Water is the gripping first novel in the Cooper M. Reid supernatural thriller series, perfect for fans of The X-Files, Dean Koontz, and haunting mysteries filled with danger, emotion, and spine-tingling suspense.

Barry's stories are typically going to be a little spooky, if not downright scary (but this is not always the case). But he also offers glimmers of hope here and there. Some of his work could be categorized as Christian fiction, though there are typically elements of the paranormal and horror running throughout.
Barry works as a ghostwriter and lives in Virginia with his wife, three kids, and too many pets.
