In a hollow where the light should not shine, love, family, and mercy are the first things to rot.

Everyone who grows up near Darkspring Hollow knows the stories. The strange blue light. The grinding sound that cuts through the night. The metal monolith hidden deep in the woods—older than memory, unreadable, and wrong.

For Evan, the hollow is not just a local legend. It has touched his family, reshaped his life, and forced him into a terrible, unspoken duty. In an isolated house at the end of a gravel road, Evan and those closest to him cling to fragile routines, secrecy, and love, hoping it will be enough to keep something ancient and predatory at bay.

But the hollow is stirring again.

As outsiders draw closer and the nights grow louder, the boundaries between protection and complicity begin to blur. Loyalty is tested. Mercy becomes a liability. And the question Evan has avoided for years can no longer be ignored: when corruption wears the face of someone you love, what does survival demand?

Darkspring Hollow is a bleak, visceral tale of cosmic horror and moral collapse, where family bonds are twisted by forces that do not recognise good or evil—only hunger, entropy, and the slow, inevitable unraveling of humanity.
