Lana Cooper

Lana Cooper doesn't usually talk about herself in the third person, but makes an exception when writing an author bio. Her work includes "Mostly Nice Monsters (and a Few Nasties)," a collection of short horror stories spattered with humor and the novel "Bad Taste In Men," a comedic coming-of-age tale for awkward geeks who grew up in the '90s. She's also published several short stories in various anthologies. Cooper has written extensively on a variety of pop culture topics for PopMatters and on her own blog, Delightfully Dysfunctional. In her spare time, she dabbles in voice acting, enjoys talking to stuffed animals, and avoids making eye-contact with strangers on public transportation.
