Coffin Moon

by Keith Rosson · 2025

Set in the bleak winter of 1975 Portland, *Coffin Moon* follows Vietnam‑veteran Duane Minor, a struggling bartender, his wife Heidi, and his teenage niece Julia. After a vampire named John Varley murders Heidi, Duane and Julia are left shattered and driven by a single purpose: revenge. Their quest becomes a brutal, high‑octane road‑trip across the Pacific Northwest, confronting undead children, silver‑bullet hunters, and other nightmarish foes. The novel blends gritty 1970s noir, visceral horror, and a deep exploration of grief, trauma, and the corrosive pull of vengeance, asking what remains of humanity when monsters wear human faces.
