Where shadows meet storytelling.

About Us

Moonlit Graves is an independent publishing house born from a passion for dark fiction, untold stories, and authors who dare to write in the shadows. Founded by author Nicole J. Owens, Moonlit Graves was created to give powerful, atmospheric voices a home — stories that haunt, thrill, and leave a mark long after the last page is turned.

Our Vision

We believe every writer deserves the chance to rise from the dark and step into their power. Moonlit Graves exists to help authors bring their work to life with respect, creativity, and a deep understanding of the craft. Whether you’re an emerging voice or an established author, we offer an empowering path to publication without sacrificing artistic identity.

The Founder​

Nicole J. Owens is more than the creator of Moonlit Graves—she is its heart.

Her vision blends empowerment with atmosphere, giving authors a place where their work is not just produced but honored.
