In the isolated town of Black Hollow, the elders still whisper of the last time the crimson moon rose. They speak of empty cradles, of doors found torn from their hinges, and of a hunger that walked on two legs and smiled with too many teeth. Most people call it folklore. This year, the blood moon returns… and the folklore starts to bleed.
When a series of ritualistic murders begins in the nights leading up to All Hallows’ Eve, local historian Elise Ward realizes the old stories were never just stories. Something ancient has been counting the years. Something that feeds only when the moon turns red and the dead grow restless.
As the blood moon climbs higher, Elise must uncover the town’s buried sin before the night claims its final offering—because when the moon is full and the hour is wrong, Black Hollow doesn’t just celebrate Halloween.
It becomes the sacrifice.
