Books like Moondog by Henry Garfield


Cyrus "Moondog" Nygerski, a part‑time newspaper columnist and local eccentric, spots eerie parallels in two recent murders in the sleepy town of Julian, California—both deaths occurred under a full moon. Suspecting a werewolf, he seeks help from Joe Acton, a recent arrival with a checkered past who initially doubts the supernatural theory. As Halloween approaches and the next full moon looms, the duo must race against time to stop the creature before it claims more victims during the town’s gala celebrations. The novel blends mystery, suspense, and folklore in a small‑town setting, raising questions about belief, reputation, and the unknown.
