It’s my attempt at injecting some Coen-esque dark humour into a story

LOVED Coffin Moon!! This one is bleak, violent but at its cracked and ancient heart is something special, something unique in the world of vampire fiction, where there is no glitter and everything is filthy and broken.

It was dizzying, confusing and ambitious - did it all come together and make sense? Not really but I enjoyed the journey.
Only criticism would be, some parts really felt like The Stand fan fiction, but - who doesn’t want to be as cool as their dad sometimes…?

Finally knocked this big bastard off after starting it over a year ago, but really wanted to finish it before I read King Sorrow.

It's Monday, so here are some horror affirmations to get you pumped and ready to work...

Live, laugh, slaughter them all.
You are unique...and utterly horrifying.
You are worthy...of not getting caught.
You are enough...cosmic horror to drive anyone insane.

Have a great week, everyone! 🖤
