The Moon-Bog
ByPublisher Description
What if the land itself rose to avenge the dead you dared to disturb?
In The Moon-Bog, H.P. Lovecraft transports readers to the haunted moorlands of ancient Ireland, where greed and modern ambition awaken a slumbering evil. Denys Barry dreams of transforming his family's ruined castle into a grand manor, draining the surrounding bog despite warnings from locals. Yet beneath the moon's pale glow, the bog reveals its true nature: a watery grave for legions long forgotten.
This modern edition preserves Lovecraft's atmospheric terror while delivering fluid, contemporary prose for today's audience.
