That Ravenous Moon: A Scary Tale of Red Riding Hood & Werewolves

by Rob E. Boley

Overview

As the Scary Tales saga continues, Snow's zombie curse grows all the more powerful—and unpredictable. The poisoned sky pours cursed rain, and the dead now rise from their graves as skeletal monsters.

For Grouchy to cure his true love, Snow, and stop her horrible curse, he and his motley band of survivors must reach the capital city of Platessa ahead of Snow's zombie horde. But when Grouchy and his companions seek refuge in a remote cottage, they discover a big bad wolf named Kane and an orphaned girl named Red. By the moon's light, Red and Kane meet each other halfway between human and wolf to become vicious werewolves.

With the future of the land hanging in the balance, Grouchy and his crew cannot fail, but they soon learn that Snow's curse runs deeper than anyone could have imagined—and shares a mysterious origin with the werewolves . . .

Editorial Reviews

Boley didn't do a single thing in his series halfway. His world is a fully realized landscape with a rich history, language, class system, and religion all its own, and while the story centers around Snow and the hellish army of zombies she creates in her wake, there is so much more to discover within the covers of these books . . .

iHorror.com - Waylon Jordan

Part delicious dream, part nightmare, That Risen Snow is an aberrant fairytale that is just as much a horror story. Boley has a knack for dark comedy and witty prose, and he blends it with a nearly-hardboiled voice uncharacteristic of (and therefore pleasantly unique in) dark fantasy fiction. It's a story you'll want to tear ass through but will equally want to slow down for, so you can savor the prose.

Author, Back Roads & Frontal Lobes - Brady Allen

The perfect antidote to the saccharine-tainted adaptations you grew up with. Grimmer than Grimm, madder than a sack of honey badgers, Boley's first Scary Tale starts at breakneck speed and doesn't ease up until a conclusion that leaves you gagging for more. Rob E. Boley demonstrates a refreshingly assured talent for word play and world building. Every character is fully developed, which proves heartbreaking when they fall beneath the fetid gnashing of the Horrors...

Editor, April Moon Books - Neil Baker

"That Risen Snow and That Wicked Apple make a deliciously diabolical tale—part Walking Dead, part turned-on-its-ear fairy tale. Rob E. Boley strikes the perfect balance of depth, drama, and dark humor to keep readers devouring the pages and leave them hungering for more."

author, Death by Bikini Mysteries - Linda Gerber

"A deliciously dark companion to the Grimm's fairy tale, That Risen Snow banishes happily ever after from the start. Walt Disney by way of The Walking Dead."
