Description:
"Surprising and unpredictable. . . . In his first novel, Calhoun paints an all-too-believable landscape. . . . His dark tale is allegorical and relevant in today's zombie-infatuated zeitgeist. This clever twist on the dystopian formula is a standout." -- Booklist "Surreal. . . . Calhoun's premise is brilliant."-- Kirkus " Black Moon is the kind of book I envy as a writer, and seek out as a reader--a novel of ideas wrapped in a gripping, expertly constructed story, full of feeling and intelligence." --Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe " Black Moon is tremendous: smart, beautifully written, and artfully plotted. Kenneth Calhoun's story is so engagingly told that it would be easy to overlook how finely crafted it is. And he manages to pull off that essential feat: he makes us care--deeply--for ordinary people trapped in a very extraordinary world." --Scott Smith, author of The Ruins and A Simple Plan "A thrilling, deeply intelligent portrait of catastrophe brought on by mass insomnia, by the wreckage that occurs when we lose our ability to close our eyes and escape into dreams. The dystopian landscape is absorbing, the prose electric, but the burning core of this novel is the heartrending and unforgettable story of a man's quest to save the woman he loves." --Laura van den Berg, author of The Isle of Youth "Calhoun's epidemic, this new and improved insomnia, sinks us into a world where 'sleepers' are the target of violent rage. Here we see the erosion of the everyday ruses that allow us to soldier on, the ugly truths we run from gaining ground. Black Moon is a powerful, beautiful debut." --John Brandon, author of Citrus County and A Million Heavens
