Connie Hillman must come to grips with what happened in the remote Huron Mountains, where she survived an encounter with ghosts, giants and cannibalistic Weendigo. Connie reflects on horrific events in the ancient and remote Huron Mountains, located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Her former lover (and PhD advisor) Phil Waverly stumbles upon an ancient ceremonial site, which he believes will prove his theory of a Pre-Columbian Bronze Age civilization in the Great Lakes region. Can Connie stop Phil from opening a portal between worlds? This volume also includes The Buck of Mulligan Plains. Henry Kincaid is hunting the biggest buck he has ever seen. A renowned outdoorsman, Henry always sought to be at one with the northern wilderness. Yet he never dreamed of attaining his goal in quite this manner. Meanwhile his lover, Lilith Gordon, fears she will lose him forever.

I was hoping for more zing in this collection. It's fun to see mention of familiar Northern MI sites but the stories lack punch.Product details

Blood Moon Tales of the Yoopernatural PD Allen 9781449956905 Books Reviews
PD Allen is a writer who delivers.
I have read extensively in the genre of short stories, and many of the shorties have been horror. Blood Moon is more a novella, but it is written so well it feels like a short story. The author has talent especially in setting the scenes of Northern Michigan so that the reader is really aware of the locations and this makes the supernatural events work so well.
Horror is particularly difficult to write well, because the suspension of disbelief tends to fall flat way before the climax (bad writer), midway (average writer) or just before the final curtain. With PD Allen, the suspense just keeps going and tension builds up all the way. Allen's relaxed but accurate writing enables the reader to enjoy the story without a hitch in the prose.
This is not to be missed by any fan of well-written horror.
PD Allen's Blood Moon is volume I of PD Allen's "Tales of the Yoopernatural" a series of books and stories taking place in the Michigan's Upper Peninsula though it's not exactly Michigan's, it's Allen's.
In these tales the author has created a world of myth and legend, a world which looks a lot like the one we inhabit but is just a bit skewed with the occasional portal to other dimensions, appearance of mythical creatures, spirits, ghosts and more. Allen skillfully weaves in geology and history while maintaining the story's tension and pace.
Blood Moon is the tale recounted by Connie Hillman. Connie trained as an anthropologist, earns her living as a writer of historical fiction. She begins by telling us a story of her Grandfather's encounter strange encounter with a benign hairy giant who he comes to believe was guarding the land from a mythical monster. We know, that like Chekov's gun on the mantle piece, we are sure to encounter the giant and the monster again.
Connie is an astute narrator and her story involves her travails as a grad student where she first encounters Phil Waverly, an anthropology professor with some unconventional ideas. Phil becomes Connie's advisor and her lover. Connie becomes enmeshed in university politics and Phil's feud with Warren Stanton, the department head. Like James Hynes, Allen is knowledgeable about life in academia and uses this well to set up the action for his story.
Years after her relationship with Phil has ended, Connie is drawn in when he summons her to archeological dig in the Huron Mountains where some strange events are occurring. It's here that the writing really shines as Allen connects the Grandfather's story to the phenomena at the site.
This is smartly told story that will appeal to lovers of supernatural suspense as well as anyone interested in American and Native American legends and generally anyone interested in good stories.
As an added bonus, a haunting short story, The Buck of Mulligan Plains is included.
I look forward to reading further tales of this magical place.
I was hoping for more zing in this collection. It's fun to see mention of familiar Northern MI sites but the stories lack punch.
