Saturday Shepherd and the World Beyond

by Logan Nance

My name is Saturday Shepherd, and yes, before you ask, my parents were either very creative or very cruel. Probably both.

A few months ago I was just a normal guy from the Bronx looking for a summer internship. What I got instead was a job with the strangest one-man detective agency in Chinatown. This agency specializes in certain types of cases that ordinary investigators wouldn't touch. Cases involving creatures that aren’t supposed to exist.

It turns out the city I’ve lived in my whole life has a secret, and now that I know it, there’s no going back. Not for me, and sadly, not for you either.

In New York City it's only when the sun goes down that everything comes to life. Hidden in the darkest shadow, at the end of every alley, lay a world beyond the darkness. Roving gangs of shapeshifters, elder vampiric puppet masters, and powerful arcanists all claim dominion over the city that never sleeps. And the only thing keeping the once warring factions from tearing the city apart is an old agreement. What could possibly go wrong?

Peace hangs on a knife’s edge and the only thing standing between humanity and the darkness is me. You see, I used to think I was just a normal kid with an unusual name, but apparently I’m not as normal as I’ve been led to believe.

Met this author at Lexington Comic Con in 2025. Purchased two books and plan on purchasing the third and final book once published

Great, fun read. I have enjoyed reading this and my child has too.

Would make a great Netflix series.

Delightful supernatural read!

Entertaining and delightful tale about a high school student who accidentally stumbles across a group of supernatural beings (of various talents) in his hometown of New York City. If you're in need of a quick escape into a fun adventure, Saturday Shepherd will take you there. Looking forward to seeing what other exploits Logan Nance has up his sleeve for Saturday Shepherd and the World Beyond series.

This book was hard to put down!! Shifters (werewolves), vampires and a mystery make for an action packed book. The characters are strong and the plot moves quickly. I can't wait until the next book in the series!

Nearing the end I was mad because I knew the next novel hasn’t been released and I need more! Best way to describe it is a supernatural mystery/crime novel. Great book full of suspense and some twists at the end.

I got this book from the author at a local comic convention. I love supporting local authors!

The story itself was very good. There were a few typos and errors throughout the book, but other than that it was written really well, and the story flowed really good.
