Walker Herbert is lost. Lost in himself. Lost in the spaces between who he is and who the people he loves need him to be. When an old local legend pulls him and his closest friends into the dark of a rural Indiana night, the hunt they bargained for becomes something far more personal—and far more predatory.

Moody Road is a slow-burn horror novella about the demons we carry into dark places—and about what happens when something out there decides to hold the door open for them.

For fans of Paul Tremblay’s unflinching psychological dread, Josh Malerman’s suffocating rural atmosphere, and the quiet domestic terror of Shirley Jackson.
