Every night, Kat pours coffee for people who shouldn't still be walking this earth.
It's the early hours of a small-town diner in the 1950s, where the neon never sleeps and the past refuses to stay buried. Kat works the graveyard shift, listening to strangers talk because that's what waitresses do. But some of these customers know her name. Some know things they shouldn't. And some are carrying sins that won't let them die.
Between these nights at the counter are other stories-memories, fragments, and flashbacks that refuse to stay quiet. As Kat begins to trace her own past, she uncovers the truth about her family and the violence that shaped her long before she ever poured her first cup of coffee.
The diner becomes a crossroads: one thread unfolding in confessions from the dead and the damned, the other in the slow unearthing of a legacy she never chose but cannot escape. What begins as listening turns into reckoning.
Black Coffee is a literary horror serial told through two parallel narratives-an anthology of midnight encounters and a haunting descent into inherited guilt, complicity, and survival. Each chapter opens with an order. Each one leaves behind something colder than silence.
New chapters every week!
