This book is literal horror. There is no hiding behind the supernatural or icky make believe monsters to be found here. The villian of this story rapes and kills little boys and Hautala does not spare the horrifying details. Parts of this novel will make your skin crawl and your stomach turn, but it is so well written that I cannot not recommend it.

This is one of Hautala's most disturbing books; BE WARNED THIS IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!!!!

The story is about a villain raping young boys in a swampy atmosphere. I won't give away too much, but it isn't your typical slasher novel.

Hautala is one of horror's most underappreciated novelists. Although a lot of his stories revolve around ghost story plots, I like him. He does not "overwrite" as often as a lot of scribes trying to make their point. His characters range from cardboard cutouts (quickly disposed of) to fleshed out "creepy crawlies." He has a knack for suspense without using the "Gross-out Factor" (although he can apply this at any time).

Hautala is a solid writer who knows how to scare and get under your skin. That's the best compliment I can give a horror writer!!!

I have read every book Hautala has written to date and Moonbog is another scary, cant put it down until you are at the end. I read this in one day.

I have to say the person who wrote that it isnt for the squeamish is very wrong, there is nothing graphic in this book. I almost didnt order it from that review but Im glad I did. You need not fear to read it, I dont know where on earth the reviewer thinks this in any way would make anyone squirm or not be able to read it. Its simply a great scary read nothing else.
