Have you ever felt influenced by the moon? Has it ever made you do something you know you shouldn’t?
Fiendish Moon is a collection of nine stories of the weird, the macabre, and the terrifying, all connected by “that yellow bitch in the sky” which may exert more command over us than we would care to admit.
You will meet a genuine witch who needs the help of a hapless innocent to bring about a special style of horrifying justice.
Watch out as you witness the transformation of a most unusual werewolf.
Ask yourself the question: How much would you be willing to give up for your parents? Would you risk your own soul? Check out what young Tom does.
Walk along a moon-lit beach with a pair of strange lovers.
Take a good look at young Peadar. Yes, he’s precocious! Yes, he’s arrogant! But he could not have foreseen the terrible results of these character flaws.
Are you afraid of rats? Are you frightened of dark cellars? If you feel up to testing your courage, then “Creatures” is the story for you.
A late-night discussion about Hitchcock’s Rebecca leads Laura to seriously question whether “the dead come back and watch the living”.
Is suicide ever the answer? In the story “Don’t Do This!” you can stand back and see the conclusion that the unfortunate Dean arrives at.
And, finally, there is Grey Cat, a tale of the harrowing long-term effects of childhood bullying. Will the characters have their vengeance? Will they achieve redemption? Will there be any peace for them?
Inspired by classic horror fiction (Henry James, MR James, HP Lovecraft), as well as modern purveyors of the craft (Stephen King, Clive Barker, Anne Rice), Adam Cloake grew up with the greatest tales of terror. Whether they emerged from a Vault of Horror, or were Tales From The Crypt, they shaped Adam into the writer he is today.
Thanks to late-night horror on the television of his youth, he was exposed early on to Frankenstein, Dracula, and any number of insane scientists. Universal Pictures and Hammer Films had a lot to answer for between the 30s and the 70s, but all of it was good.
Fiendish Moon may be purchased on Kindle at: mybook.to/FiendishMoon.
