Interview: Keith Rosson on crafting COFFIN MOON
Coffin Moon is undoubtedly one of the best novels of the year, horror or not. A dark, moving trip into the depths of pain and violence until you reach a purgatorial mental hellscape, it's author Keith Rosson at his best, crafting a revenge story that examines masculinity, grief, and the shattering nature of loss. It also manages to be a unique and interesting take on vampires and a damn thrilling crime novel at the same time.

It’s true that the original plan was not to “end” the universe. A lot of my run is setting up characters I hoped would go on past me, I think I’ve made that clear and obvious.
