The Moon Pool: Science fantasy lost world cosmic horror subterranean civilization ancient technology sentient light gothic supernatural ghost occult mystery Nan-Matal ruins action sea vampiric entity

Beneath the cyclopean ruins of Nan-Matal, a shimmering terror waits for the moon to rise. When botanist Dr. Walter Goodwin follows the trail of his vanished colleague into the depths, he uncovers a gateway to a world that should not exist—and a sentient entity of light that feeds on the human soul.

The Moon Pool is a gripping blend of Action & Adventure and cosmic Horror that plunges readers into the subterranean city of Lora. Alongside a reckless aviator and a vengeful Norseman, Goodwin must navigate a decadent civilization powered by atomic energy and ruled by the cruel priestess Yolara. This is not just a rescue mission; it is a desperate struggle against the 'Shining One,' a vampiric, Occult & Supernatural force that leaves its victims in a state of ecstatic despair.

From the predatory depths of the Crimson Sea to the gravity-defying weapons of a lost race, the journey delivers a masterclass in Gothic atmosphere and eerie Sea Stories. As a rebellion of the 'ladala' laborers threatens to tear the underworld apart, Goodwin realizes that if the Dweller escapes its lunar prison, the surface world will fall to a coruscating nightmare.

If you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft or H. Rider Haggard, you will love The Moon Pool. It is a haunting Ghost story of the deep, where science and ancient evil collide in a battle for the very essence of humanity. Prepare to enter the pool—if you dare to face the light.
