Beneath the fog and shadows of a long-abandoned carnival, the air hums with the pulse of crimson threads-threads that bind the living, the lost, and the damned. Luna, a timeless puppeteer of horrifying skill, commands marionettes animated by blood, her power growing with every life she ensnares. When Clara and Elias stumble into the ruins, they find a boy trapped between humanity and something far darker. Saving him comes at a price: a single drop of blood opens the door to a nightmare far beyond their understanding. As Luna's threads tighten, the friends are pulled into a symphony of horror-marionettes snapping violently, corrupted townspeople rising, and new, monstrous villains emerging from the fog. Every heartbeat counts, every drop of blood fuels the unseen strings, and every choice risks losing the boy forever. In a world where trust is fragile and every shadow hides a predator, survival demands courage, cunning, and a will stronger than the threads that seek to control them. The Strings of Luna is a Gothic tale of obsession, sacrifice, and horror-a blood-soaked journey through a carnival of terror that will leave readers breathless, haunted, and desperate for the final note of the symphony.

When seventeen year old Elias Hart arrives in Black Hollow, all he wants is to disappear. But the quiet mountain town isn't empty, it's watching. The forest presses close on every side, ancient and unmoving, and something within it knows his name. It begins slowly: strange dreams, a voice that speaks only to him, a pull beneath his skin like a thread tightening with every breath. The other students avoid him. His reflection shifts when he isn't looking. And always, the woods wait. Whispers speak of a boy who vanished last winter. A name: Noah. A coat left behind. A carved token that shouldn't be warm. As Elias begins to unravel the town's buried history, something buried in him awakens. The line between memory and identity blurs. He is being watched, guided, changed and the deeper he follows the call, the more he begins to wonder if he was ever meant to escape. The bond is ancient. And the forest remembers. ...
