CAMDIGAN

by C. Dennis Moore

A wrong turn off the highway finds David lost in Camdigan. He would never have gone to Camdigan by choice. But then, no one did. It is an eerie, otherworldly town, where the sky is gray, the air is gray, even the people are gray in attitude and manner.

The only glimmer of life is Beth, a young girl who claims to be the reincarnation of his deceased wife. She pleads with him to leave. "Everyone here is dead," she says. "We move and think, we feel, we even grow, but this place is dead. We don't sleep very often, we breathe out of habit. We grow and can hurt ourselves, but we won't ever die because it's too late for that."

But David refuses to escape without her, even if an army of the dead should rise up to stop him.

Praise for CAMDIGAN

“I’ve followed Mr. Moore’s career, and he’s a young man who’s going to make a bit of a mark in the genre. He’s found a real voice here...”

--Steve Vernon, author of Nightmare Dreams and Long Horn, Big Shaggy

“Camdigan takes you on a moody and peculiar journey into the realm of dead, the undead, and the reborn. It's a piece about ambience, atmosphere, emotion, and choice. Themes of oblivion, religion, politics, and dreams intertwine with one another in a constant bevy of thoughts, ideas, memories, and events that occur in one character's life.
            “You can literally feel the gloom and morbidity in each paragraph. It almost sucks you in to a place of depression, angst, and the fear of unknown. C. Dennis Moore is a prolific author with a natural talent for in-depth storytelling, and he proves it again here. His style is thought provoking and rich in setting and description. He makes you think, and gets your gears rolling, only to keep the pace moving right along into the next journey, your fingers turning the pages in a wicked frenzy.”

--Nancy Jackson, Reviewer’s Bookwatch

“C. Dennis Moore's writing is clean and clear. He doesn't unnecessarily clutter up his sentences with fat metaphors and graphic descriptions that don't advance the story.”

--Michael T. Huyck, Jr, FEOAMANTE.COM

“C. Dennis Moore has painted a town I have never seen or experienced before. Vivid in it’s grayness and stark in possibility, it will rock you from the first page. The style is smooth and flowing, leading from the questions in the start to the answers in the middle and the explosive ending.”

--Lee Pletzers, THE REVIEWER

“A sombre story that treads new ground. Strangely riveting!”

--The Eternal Night Chronicle
