The Swallowed Sun. The Coffin Maker and the Grave, #1

When the sun disappears behind an unnatural eclipse, the village of Black Hollow begins to rot from within. An iron-bound coffin unearthed beneath the old oak tree was meant to remain buried. It was sealed with chains for a reason. But some things do not stay quiet when disturbed. As whispers rise from the soil and shadows gather beneath the branches, the Coffin Maker finds himself drawn into a history of ritual binding, inherited guilt, and a curse that iron alone cannot contain.
The deeper he digs, the more the line between possession and conscience begins to fracture. The Swallowed Sun is a slow-burning gothic horror steeped in ritual, shadow, and psychological dread. Set against a landscape of graveyards, candlelight, and iron chains, it begins a trilogy that explores what happens when the past refuses burial-and when what was bound begins to return. Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, this is horror for readers who prefer tension over spectacle and dread over noise.
