MOONGLOW
Tired of hooking up with married "straight" men at bars, Russ gives online dating a try. This is how he meets Jacob: a handsome older man with a nice voice, great taste in vacation destinations, and a handful of shared interests.Jacob is also a little bit odd, not caring about the dead bug in his drink and all, but he's at least not as odd as the locals in his hometown of Saddle Rock, Massachusetts.Maybe it's small town living, or maybe it's something to do with what's glistening underneath the surface, just offshore.
Mitch Miller's debut, MOONGLOW is a queer, horror story set along the haunting edges of the Eastern Seaboard.

Caval's worries.The wailing was knocking on the cabin door, and he hadn't heard from Bill in days.
CHERRY KICKS RED MEAT is an apocalyptic horror story for fans of THE HAPPENING and NBC's HANNIBAL, and features a trans man protagonist alongside a majority queer cast.
