Bloodmoon Over Blackwood

By Derek P Van Cleve

A body. Two puncture wounds. No blood.

In Florida's Blackwood Swamp, forensic rookie Adam Johnson and veteran detective Susan Bullock expect a killer they can catch-until the evidence points to something that doesn't follow human rules.

The victim isn't the first. Old records reveal a pattern of ritual deaths stretching back generations: every seven years, under a full moon, with crime scenes left impossibly clean and marked by symbols no lab can identify.

As the investigation tightens, the swamp pushes back. Leads vanish. Witnesses clam up. And a name surfaces in folklore and half-burned documents: Malkor.

The deeper Adam and Bullock dig, the clearer the truth becomes: the vampire-like predator stalking the swamp is only an instrument. The real threat is older, smarter, and terrifyingly procedural-treating human lives like entries in a ledger, balancing accounts with blood.

Now the case is personal. Because whatever is behind the killings doesn't just want victims.

It wants Adam.

Bloodmoon Over Blackwood is a supernatural crime thriller packed with investigation, ritual murder, small-town secrets, and a creeping cosmic horror that turns procedure into a trap.
