Coffin Moon

Set in a decaying Oregon coastal town, the narrative follows three estranged siblings who return to their childhood home following the death of their mother. Their arrival coincides with the emergence of a celestial phenomenon known as the Coffin Moon, a rare lunar event that triggers a literal unearthing of the local cemetery. As the physical landscape shifts and historical corpses begin to wander the fog-choked streets, the characters must navigate both supernatural violence and the concrete realities of generational poverty and addiction.

Fans of visceral folk horror and blue-collar supernatural fiction will find this a stark depiction of small-town rot. Readers who value gritty prose and character-driven stakes over polished jump scares will appreciate the focus on the internal mechanics of grief and resentment. After finishing, the reader holds a grim understanding of how unresolved family trauma functions as its own kind of haunting, coupled with a vivid sense of the atmosphere inherent to the Pacific Northwest’s isolated, rain-drenched environments.
