Swallowed Sun

When the sun disappears behind an unnatural eclipse, the village of Black Hollow begins to rot from within.An iron-bound coffin unearthed beneath the old oak tree was meant to remain buried. It was sealed with chains for a reason. But some things do not stay quiet when disturbed.As whispers rise from the soil and shadows gather beneath the branches, the Coffin Maker finds himself drawn into a history of ritual binding, inherited guilt, and a curse that iron alone cannot contain. The deeper he digs, the more the line between possession and conscience begins to fracture.The Swallowed Sun is a slow-burning gothic horror steeped in ritual, shadow, and psychological dread. Set against a landscape of graveyards, candlelight, and iron chains, it begins a trilogy that explores what happens when the past refuses burial—and when what was bound begins to return.Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, this is horror for readers who prefer tension over spectacle and dread over noise.
