About this eBook

The nightmare begins before you sleep . . .

By the Master of Horror, James Herbert's Moon follows Jonathan, who 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 . . .

Ratings and reviews

I didn't even finish the sample, not because I don't like his books, but seriously, no speech marks or punctuation? I found it very confusing and I'm an avid book reader. I didn't buy the book because I didn't want to read a whole book wondering who is saying what, and reading 'shell' instead of she'll, and Ill instead of I'll. Suppose I'll never know if that continues through the whole book! And it seems that no one else has noticed this going by these other ratings here.

I remember reading this as a paperback, and it definitely had speech marks. Clearly this is a very poor conversion to an e-book,and makes it almost impossible to read.

In my opinion, Herbert's finest offering. Shrouded in taut suspense with writing that allows you to immerse yourself within the lead character, he gives any stephen king novel a run for its money....
