Mothman -Origins-: A Cryptid Novel

By: Reynolds, D. R.

Everyone knows the legend of the Mothman-but no one knows his story.

In the shadowed hills of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, whispers of a winged figure have lingered for generations. To most, the Mothman is an omen-an unspeakable terror tied forever to tragedy.

When a young boy stumbles upon a hidden cave in the Appalachian wilderness, he unknowingly awakens an ancient evil that shakes the foundation of heaven. No sermon that his father preached could prepare him for the horrifying dreams of a winged creature with large red eyes watching as he slept. As he looks for answers, his life starts to unravel, and the only thing that has his answer is the one thing that haunts him. With the help of some unlikely friends, he must decide if the Mothman is a harbinger of doom or an ancient sentinel tethered to the threads of fate. It isn't long until the line between myth and reality starts to blur while the fate of Point Pleasant hangs in the balance.

Set against real historical events and culminating in the catastrophic collapse of the Silver Bridge, Mothman Origins reimagines the legend not as a monster's tale, but as a story of warning, sacrifice, and misunderstood purpose. This haunting cryptid novel explores the cost of buried truths, spiritual reckoning, and the consequences of awakening.
