The Moon has Eyes
The moon is hanging strangely low over the city of Boston, casting an odd blue light down on everything and everyone beneath it.
Damon, a young, single man who commutes home from the city every night, wants little more than to find romance with one of his coworkers from the coffee shop. However, he becomes distracted when a cadaverous old man in a black suit and Stetson hat appears to him on the train, only to disappear shortly after, night after night. Then the moon enters a strange phase, affecting him deeply and psychologically, making his paranoia increase with each passing day. Whether or not these things are related, Damon can't be sure. But the true terror waiting for him might not just be below the light of the blue moon, but in the depths of an abandoned train station far beneath the streets of Boston.

The Moon has Eyes is a nice little novella about the high strangeness to be found in full moons, uncertain love, and the loneliness of night. This one is a quiet piece for fans of the speculative and surreal hidden in the mundane and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

This was a really endearing novella. Horromance is the genre I didn’t know I needed in my life.

I won’t get into details on the story since you can see that in the description for this book. What I will discuss is how simple and effective O’Brien’s writing is. When I say simple, I don’t mean as in low IQ. I mean that he cuts out a bunch of nonsense and gets right to the meat. The Moon Has Eyes is one of his more serious stories, as opposed to schlock-fests like the true adventures of Jeff O’Brien series or Bigboobenstein. In 80-something pages, he manages to get you rooting for the main characters, questioning what is coming for the cast involved and tells a unique story that is entertaining. He is a great story teller and this is a prime example of how good of a writer he is.

Loved the characters in this book. I finished it in one sitting and it was well written and had some spooky parts. Will definitely check out other stories by this author
