Today’s spotlight features Nighthawks by Kaitlin Corvus, one of this year’s semi-finalists!

There’s something magnetic about dark, small-town settings and morally complex characters. These are the kinds of stories that invite readers to look closer, to question what’s real and what’s imagined. Contemporary dark fiction and fantasy often reveal more about humanity than lighthearted tales ever could. The creeping tension, the undercurrent of danger, and the slow unraveling of secrets pull you into a world that feels unsettlingly familiar. It’s a genre that rewards curiosity, introspection, and a love for the eerie beauty hidden in ordinary places.

Please join me in congratulating this talented author in the comments below — your support makes such a difference.

📚 All About the Book

Nighthawks
By Kaitlin Corvus
Published by Independently Published on March 2025
Genres: Contemporary Fiction, Horror, Fantasy
Formats: eBook
Pages: 171

The night Dara and Trinity find a boy hanging from the ceiling of Owensboro’s abandoned hospital, covered head to foot in bitemarks, Dara knows something is not quite right in her town.

With a bit of digging, she discovers it's not just one body, or two, but a dead parade trailing back for years. Ludicrously, people whisper of vampires, monsters, and the cult that worships them. Trinity doesn’t care as much as Dara does. Doesn't see it. She’s caught in her own mind.

She loves all things bad for her, starting with Jai Sylvia. They play a game of cat and mouse, run just as fast and just as dangerous. Even when she knows she’s being herded into the dark, Trinity stumbles on, thinking she’s desperate for the conclusion.

When the danger changes direction and Dara and Trinity find themselves facing down a foe so much worse than they previously imagined, they have to make a choice: blissful ignorance, or violence.
