Jackanapes Press presents Light from a Gibbous Moon by Galad Elflandsson (M. R. Summerleigh), a previously unpublished novel of creeping supernatural horror.BLOOD-CURDLING HORROR BY THE LIGHT OF A GIBBOUS MOON!1971-A group of Canadian college students are shipwrecked by a sudden storm on the Indian Ocean. The survivors-David and Katie Elkin, Maria Martinelli, Jimmy Steinfeld, Patti Gravelle, and the nearly intolerable John Carolus-are eventually rescued.1985-As world conflicts and natural disasters intensify, eldritch horrors begin to torment the increasingly terrified survivors as they struggle to break free of false memories and learn the nightmarish truth of what really happened to them in 1971... on the island... while they awaited rescue.David and Katie are twins haunted by childhood tragedy. Since their rescue, Katie has been confined to a padded cell. David, now married to fellow professor Maria, can’t let go of Katie, and their shameful, long-hidden secret that may just hold the key to their salvation... or doom. Maria and the other survivors, aided by private investigator Jonathan Darcy, race to unravel the dark enigma in time to save themselves-and possibly the world-from creeping, apocalyptic terror. As events charge headlong to a mind-shattering climax, the survivors probe the occult nature of their tormentors... their motives... their unthinkable agenda. Who-if anyone-will be left alive once the mystery is revealed?Written at the height of the legendary horror boom of the 1980s, Light from a Gibbous Moon might have been a sensation, but the author known as Galad Elflandsson put it in a drawer and didn’t gaze upon it again for decades. Now, in a world newly obsessed with the horrific frights of the ’80s, Light is unleashed.
