The Pale Hunger (The Mortal Coil Universe)
When four friends enter the forest to uncover what happened to Owen and Elenore Holloway, they expected grief, maybe even death, but the woods greet them with silence, and something worse.
Symbols carved in bark, bones arranged like rituals. Creatures that watch but do not speak.
Each step draws them deeper into a fracture in reality, where memory fails and the soul begins to erode.
Something ancient is stalking the trees.
it remembers the cold and it remembers the taste of flesh.
Set within the expanding Mortal Coil universe, The Pale Hunger is a descent into madness, grief, and a monstrous hunger that waits in the spaces between worlds.
The Pale Hunger doesn’t want to scare you.
It wants to unmake you.
It knows what you lost.
It knows exactly what to take next.
Let the hunger spread.

I’m not giving it five stars, not because I don’t love it (trust me, I do), but because, well… I wrote it. So yeah, I’m a little biased.
The Pale Hunger is a deeply personal continuation of a universe I started building with The Real Monster. It’s a story born from grief, fear, and the aching silence of the forest… but also from love. The kind of love that drives you to write, even when it hurts.
My hope is that readers find something here that resonates, a shadow, a memory, a pulse, and that the horror feels just human enough to be real.
Thank you for giving it a chance.
Thank you for reading.
