Red Door

A Cry in the Moon's Light

By: Alan McGill

Narrated by: Alan McGill, Linnea Sage, Andrew Oakes, Sarah Nightingale

Before there was A Cry in the Moon’s Light...

This is the story of a beautiful peasant girl and a farm boy who fall in love in the South of France, years before she becomes mi Lady, the Duchess of Harcourt, and he becomes...something else. It is also the story of William de Parlimae, their childhood companion, whose path takes a different turn.

As children, the three played together. But when the Lord’s son embarks on an important mission with his two closest friends, they find that they’ve stepped past the threshold of youth and into a long, dark night filled with nightmares, cruelty, and vicious beasts.

In the darkness, the two lovers seek refuge at an abandoned village deep in the Dark Forest. But will the moon’s light be enough for them to tell friend from enemy, poison from perfume, and the stuff of dreams from the horrors around them?

Great listen

I really enjoyed this audio book! Also there is podcast series! Can’t wait for the other books by this author.

Wow! Just Wow!

The sound effects make the story come alive. Gives the vibes of sitting by the radio in the 1950s listening to a favorite 'show" with anticipation of what will happen next. I immediately thought of FDR and his 'Fireside Chats." I love this book and is a must read!

Classic Horror and Tender Romance!

I listen to audiobooks all the time, there is nothing like this series. First the podcast, now this prequel to the series is unmatched. Even though I already knew who the black wolf was, the love story between Seth and Alessandra really answered how William developed into the villain. Great story and the cast really make it special. I can't wait for book one to be an audiobook!

Captivating Gothic Horror At It's Best!

This was an incredibly vivid and atmospheric read. The gothic setting and tone the author struck immediately kept me invested in the book, and the rich mythology and European culture the author infused into this story helps build upon the equally compelling mythos that the story this prequel plays into began.

Yet it was the character development that truly kept me hooked on this story. The tension and chemistry these characters exhibited, especially the love story of Seth and Alessandra. The connection that their story had to the development of William as a villain and the way their story mirrored the larger mythos was incredible to behold.

The audiobook itself was truly well-produced. It felt more than just an audiobook, and instead felt like listening to a classic radio show with high-end production that brought the cinematic quality of the author's writing style to life perfectly. The narration and voice acting was stellar in this production and kept the emotional beats and atmosphere from the original book perfectly.
