Rachel Daniels, her husband Josh, and daughters Ruth (age 15) and Rebecca (age 12) relocate to Moab in late summer, where Josh has accepted a one-year position as a visiting professor at a small college. Behind its peaceful façade, Moab is a place of containment of a race of supernatural beings that has existed since before humankind. These beings are the true source of life-power, or so thinks Professor Cora, who brought the Daniels family to Moab to serve as the instruments through which the supernatural horde will be unleashed.
The Daniels are soon beset with unsettling occurrences. Josh is troubled by the temptations subtly created by a colleague. Ruth befriends Levi White, a kind and timid boy who harbors a monstrous secret. And Rebecca becomes entranced by the woods at the edge of the town, and there meets Eve, a mystical woman who promises to teach her about secrets of nature and the moon.
Unbeknownst to her family, Rachel has long practiced white magic to protect them. Finding allies in Moab, she works feverishly to ward off the evil closing in on her family. Drawing its inspiration from the dark fantasy of Arthur Machen, Fritz Leiber, and T. E. D. Klein, Cold Raven Moon is a potent feast for readers who delight in exploring the darkest of corners of supernatural fiction.

Nestled amongst the snow-capped peaks of Colorado’s western slope lies a town with a rich history and spectacular scenery—as well as a dark undercurrent of the miraculous and the macabre. What first appears as a sun-dappled mountainous hideaway from the techno-modernity of our chaotic world is, in reality, a waypoint between the strange and the surreal, the spooky and the scintillating. For this community harbors a mind-dazzling, spine-tingling menagerie of historical spectres and future dangers. It is a place where the line between the real and unreal remains eternally blurred.
Welcome to the town of Carbondale, or as its denizens affectionately refer to it, BONEDALE.
