When the hills fall silent, the wings begin to whisper…

Briar Hollow has always lived under the shadow of its abandoned viaduct—but when livestock vanish, ground tremors shake the valley, and children describe a tall grey figure perched on the arches at dusk, the quiet rural mystery turns into a waking nightmare.

Investigative journalist Elise Carnby arrives expecting exaggeration and folklore.
Instead, she finds a valley slowly collapsing in on itself—and a creature that appears only when disaster is moments away.

Or perhaps because it is.

As Elise interviews shell-shocked locals, investigates forbidden mineshafts, and documents the unexplained failures ripping through the landscape, she discovers a chilling pattern: every tragedy is preceded by the same silent presence—twin burning eyes, wings folded like knives, and a voice that moves through the stillness like dry leaves dragged across stone.

But the creature doesn’t just haunt the valley.
It has begun to haunt her.

Lingering outside her cottage.
Watching from the treeline.
Tapping on the glass in the dead of night.

And each tap grows louder.

MOTHMAN: VIGIL is a dark graphic folk-horror novella about isolation, buried industrial sins, and the moment disbelief becomes terror. Perfect for fans of eerie Appalachian folklore, uncanny cryptid sightings, and atmospheric slow-burn dread with explosive climaxes.

No one in Briar Hollow knows whether the Mothman warns of disaster—
or calls it down.

Elise is running out of time to learn the difference.
