The Hungry Moon

The Hungry Moon by Ramsey Campbell is a new edition published by Flame Tree Press on April 11, 2019. This 368-page work is presented in English and delves into the eerie dynamics of a small town in northern England, where ancient Druid traditions clash with modern fundamentalism. The narrative unfolds in Moonwell, a community that has preserved its rituals, but faces turmoil when the right-wing evangelist Godwin Mann challenges their beliefs, leading to a confrontation with an ancient being worshipped by the Druids.

Readers will encounter a chilling tale as Mann’s actions unleash a demon that takes his form, creating a growing sense of dread among the town’s outcasts who recognize the impending danger. As the malevolent force spreads, Moonwell finds itself increasingly isolated from the outside world, heightening the tension and horror. This edition explores themes of fantasy, horror, and the occult, inviting readers into a world where tradition and modernity collide with terrifying consequences.
