Night and Dark of Lust
From the Pen of Thomas Miller

In a nameless motel room drenched in neon and regret, Thomas Langley touches a woman he should have never touched—and wakes up to find his soul bleeding. Her name is Rachel. Maybe. She vanishes before dawn, leaving behind a lipstick-stained note and a wound that should have killed him.

But Thomas doesn't die.

Instead, he begins to change.

Haunted by visions, stalked by hunger, and drawn into the depths of a cursed forest where memory bleeds and trees weep, Thomas uncovers a legacy older than sin—a curse born of pain, passed down through touch, feeding on sorrow, lust, and grief. And at the root of it all stands the Mourning Tree, black as midnight and twice as merciless.

As Thomas spirals deeper, he meets Elsie—a waitress with her own hollow heart—and together they must face not just the horror that stalks them, but the truth: some curses aren't meant to be broken. Some are meant to be embraced.

Blending gothic horror, dark folklore, and raw emotional storytelling, Night and Dark of Lust is a chilling tale of transformation, trauma, and the terrible cost of desire.

Will you survive the forest?
Or will you become part of it?
