Shun the Moon
Terry Campbell
The moon may be fleeting, or the moon may be eternal. It’s up to the beast to decide.
When Natasha—a three-year-old wolf hybrid—escapes her owner’s yard for a fun frolic in the wilderness, she is assaulted by a vicious male wolf, an incident that plunges her into a world in which she unknowingly already existed yet never appreciated the scope. Lycanthropy.
Subsequent events release a swirl of human emotions: love, family, tragedy, loss, and fear. Sentiments familiar to her canine mind, but never with this much understanding and clarity.
And always lurking in the background, powered by the moon, the terrifying beast who now claims her as his own.
About The Author
Terry Campbell
Terry Campbell wrote extensively during the 1990s, appearing in numerous anthologies (Horrors! 365 Scary Stories, Blood Muse, Kiss and Kill: the Hot Blood Series) and small press magazines (Terminal Fright, After Hours, Into the Darkness). But sometime during the 2000s, he drifted away from the keyboard.
Then, in 2023, spurred on by an odd dream he thought would make a good story, his wife surprised him with a new laptop. And the bug was back. He started writing again and hasn’t stopped, with appearances in anthologies such as What Lurks?: A Cryptid Anthology, Hellbound Book’s Horror Anthology, After Dark: A Horror and Thriller Anthology, and many more.
