Moontown (Halloween 2008)
A novel by Peter Atkins
Cover art by Alan M. Clark
SYNOPSIS:
Shelley Campbell only meant to help
people.
Recruited by her professor into
working with a group-study program
investigating phobias, Shelley has been
using her ability as an empath to enter
the minds of troubled patients. Within
the dreamscape of their memories,
Shelley uncovers their repressed
childhood fears in order to help heal
them.
But some fears are buried for a reason.
Now, more than lost dreams are
resurfacing. Something else is waking
too, something dark and long forgotten,
something hungry for the taste of our
terror . . .
Shelley Campbell has gone too deep,
has found the place where the darkness
waits. A place ruled by the moon, a
place where midnight lives, a place
where every night is Halloween.
A place called Moontown.

LETTERED EDITION
“This finely written and sharply told tale is a strong example of modern
horror ... the kaleidoscope of peril keeps readers guessing and gasping."
—Publishers Weekly
“Atkins’ fusion of fast-paced narration and surreal horror packs a large
wallop for such a slender novel. His continuously morphing and
malevolent Moontown demon is memorable enough to rival Elm Street’s
Freddy Krueger."
—Booklist
“Atkins is a brilliant supplier of shudders and splendors.”
—Clive Barker
“MOONTOWN is the kind of classy but truly frightening writing that gave
horror such a boost back in the 1980s.”
—The Agony Column
“MOONTOWN is a chilling tale and one perfectly suited to be this year’s
selection for Earthling Publications’ Halloween series. Atkins has an
excellent command of the language and knows how to use it to good
effect. Four out of five stars.”
—Horror-Web
