Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-24 00:00:00 Lesley Pennicook This is one of the scariest books I ever came across. A small English town named Moonwell is falling under a mysterious darkness caused by an evangelist who tries to christianise an ancient druid cave. Campbell really rises tension to the utmost level with his long winded style, his slow start and his shift of scenes and his shift of characters. It's no superficial reading. When you get involved with his writing and progress through the book you are highly rewarded. In Hungry Moon book you get some of the most terrible monsters and feeling of uneasiness you've ever come across. It's absolutely worth it. This monster here was more terrifying than IT. I really had the impression the demon from the cave was after me and it was hungry for more than food. Great classic. It caused goosebumps!

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-26 00:00:00 Charlyne Blomberg This one started off really good, halfway through I thought I was going to DNF it because it's a rather bloated novel, it could have done with better editing. I'm glad I stuck with it though because after the halfway mark, it got pretty good and I liked the ending and the overall Lovecraftian writing style Campbell uses here. It would have made a five star short story, but because it's a novel which should have been cut down from 428 pages to 328 pages - I've given it three stars. Fans of eerie, occult horror stories should give this a go. This was also my first Campbell read and I'm definitely looking forward to reading something else by him.
