Empty Heaven

Set in the charming Massachusetts village of Kesuquosh, this atmospheric YA folk horror explores themes of queer found family, friendship, and trauma recovery amid a backdrop of local superstition and ancient darkness. When a seemingly innocent Halloween ritual reveals a terrifying, supernatural threat, Darian and her friends must uncover hidden truths about their home and face their own inner demons to protect what they love. Filled with cinematic prose and late-90s grunge vibe, the story poses thought-provoking questions about the cost of perfection and the nature of monsters.
