About

COMING SOON - Blood Moon Over Avenue A

When Quentin Mercer inherits his grandmother Mildred’s old apartment on Avenue A, he gets something almost no twenty-something in New York can afford anymore: space, history, and a place that feels like it belongs to another version of the city.

Then Quentin and his friends Nico, Roman, Dante, and Mateo tear open a sealed wall in Mildred’s bedroom.

Inside is a leather-bound book, five black candles, a silver key, and a photograph taken in the same apartment in 1977.

Five young men are standing in the picture.

On the back, Mildred has written:

We should never have called him.

There is also a warning.

Do not let five men stand inside the circle.

They already are.

From that moment, the men’s lives begin to change. What starts as curiosity becomes power. The book seems capable of granting impossible advantages, but every gain leaves damage somewhere else. The five begin to feel one another’s emotions, desires, pain, and memories. Their friendship becomes more intimate than any of them intended and far more dangerous than any of them can control.

And the women already tangled in their lives are pulled into it with them.

Quentin’s growing intimacy with Imani, Roman’s charged relationship with Noelle, and Dante’s unfinished history with Zara become pressure points as the supernatural bond deepens. What the men try to hide begins spilling outward into romance, jealousy, suspicion, and divided loyalties. The women start noticing things the men cannot explain, and each is drawn closer to the mystery in a different way.

Then a stranger dies beneath a blood moon with Quentin’s name on his lips.

The man knows Mildred.

He knows the book.

He knows what the five friends have awakened.

Worse, Mildred photographed him almost thirty years earlier.

He has not aged.

As old East Village secrets surface and the boundary between the living and the dead begins to bend, Quentin discovers that Mildred’s apartment is not simply the place where the mystery began. It may be part of a much older design hidden beneath Manhattan itself.

The five men thought they had found magic.

What they actually found was a door.

And whatever is waiting on the other side knows exactly what each of them wants most.

Blood Moon Over Avenue A is a dark urban occult thriller about friendship, desire, temptation, grief, loyalty, and the price of being offered the one thing you cannot bear to lose.

The question is not whether the five friends can survive what they awakened.

It is whether they will still choose one another when the thing behind the door finally offers each of them everything they ever wanted.
