Moonlight on Roseville Beach (Art-Free ePub)

The Art-Free Version of a Queer Game of Disco & Cosmic Horror

Head west on Rose Island and you get to the pricey summertime communities like Saltwinne, Destiny Bay, or Dunewood. Head east and you’ll find exclusive resort towns like Pinewood Harbor, Charmington, and Sunken Oak. But those city kids and artists looking to get away for a long weekend, they’re heading right out to the middle of the island for that old gaycation getaway: Roseville Beach.

Queer pulp meets cosmic horror! It's the summer of 1979, and you're working in Roseville Beach, the queerest little town on Rose Island. You might have come here looking for an escape, some fun, a little extra money, or even love, but now people are seeing phantasms, strange animals—and stranger old gods—wander the woods, mysterious monoliths appear randomly, and that strange music is coming from somewhere.

This is a reflowable ePub with the cover and map of the town of Roseville Beach, but no other art.
