The Old Man And The Lunar Beast

In the ancient highlands of rural Japan a beast of unknown origin slumbers in the mountain of everlasting night... Dare you disturb it? Below these highlands a valley rests, and from this valley an old man begins his journey up the mountain, his fate undetermined. With every page you turn the beast grows more rabid. With every sentence that passes you, the more voracious its appetite becomes. Dare you go on?

A must-read." - GEORGE ORWELL This entire book is a work of fiction. As are the words of praise in this description - a complete fantasy.
