Pale Moonlight: A Novel

by Tony Laplume

Plato Finnegan is a priest and brother. His sister Fiona is trying to escape from a bad relationship with a vampire. Rather than the springboard for another vampire romance, however, these are the ingredients for an expansive literary epic that explores the large and intimate questions of our time.

About the author

Tony Laplume was born in 1980, spent a few years in Rhode Island, but started making his mark in the world when his family relocated to Maine, where he attended every year of his schooling, including college at the University of Maine in Orono (except for a year at Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA), where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in English. In high school, he created the comic strip "Newsroom" for the Academic Advocate, which published it from 1998-1999. He wrote a regular opinion column for UMaine's Maine Campus from 2002-2003. He co-founded and worked on the Hemlock literary journal from 2003-2004. In 2007, he co-created the short-lived literary journal Dead Letter Quarterly with A.C. Hall and Derek Koch. He also self-published The Cloak of Shrouded Men that year. He has since completed two additional novels, Pale Moonlight and The Whole Bloody Affair.

This book was amazing. It's the great vampire novel written in the style of Herman Melville ever! The author is a national treasure.
