Publisher Description

He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the island. And for a time, he lived in peace. Until the sightings began: visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils, violent acts that were hideously macabre, the thoughts becoming intense.

He witnessed the grotesque acts of another thing, a thing that glorified in murder and mutilation, a monster that soon became aware of the observer within its own mind - and relished contact. A creature that would eventually come to the island to seek him out.

"Years ago I read Once by Herbert, which I didn't particularly care for and it sort of turned me off the author. Now I've decided to give Herbert a second chance with Moon and I'm so glad I did, cause this was a very good book. At its heart it was a murder mystery wrapped into a supernatural horror and I liked the ending revelation, but what particularly stood out was the writing. Herbert weaves a tightly plotted, intense story with well fleshed out realistic characters, excellent vivid descriptions and non stop page turning spooky action. Very impressive. Highly recommended."

    " This is a superior psycho-terror novel by the master from Britain. The ending is a jaw-dropper. Well-done! "

    " Didn't really rate this book much, it was a bit boring. James has done better than this. This was another book I couldn't find an ISBN in, and again I can only assume I have the edition I chose. Must be a book club thing. I noticed that book club books tend to be cheap quality. "

    " The story's a little languid and the central character's a bit of a wet blanket, but the elegance of the writing pulled me through, and Herbert's control of the big scary setpieces. Nice ghostly apparitions seething with grubs! "

    " Didn't like this at all. I thought the pyschic stuff was just ridiculous, and this was the main part of the story. I found the characters quite unbelievable and some the things they did were quite erratic. At times i also found it very padded. I would not recommend this at all. "

    " A tale about a guy who worships the moon. It was okay, buy not one of JH's best. I couldn't find my edition here - it had an extra front with clouds on and a cut out with the moon behind it. Maybe I should have kept it, might be worth something! "

    " Moon is a strange murder mystery with a supernatural twist. There's this teacher who has psychic links with the killer, but all is not what it seems. I gave the creeps but I read it to the end. "
