A fantasy horror novel about a little girl named Bridget Anne aka Dragonfly as she, her Uncle Henry, Mothkin, and others battle the leader (Samuel Hain) of an underground world (Harvest Moon) before he and his people can emerge into the human world, deplete it, and then move on.
This is a reread for me and it’s just as amazing now as the other times I read it. For me, personally, it’s just a perfect story. It’s dark but not graphic. So so beautifully written. Is it wordy? Yes, but I love books like that, books that challenge me and force me to concentrate.
Easily in my top five favorite books!
