Moth

Praise for Moth

"Readers looking for supernatural-tinged horror rendered with lyrical intensity will find plenty to enjoy." Publishers Weekly

"Vividly set in the walled city of Urbino, Italy where a rich Renaissance history is blended with a gritty modern scene of drugs and sex, Michael Takeda's Moth follows a figurative lost soul into a more literal damnation. Moth is a dagger-sharp study of addiction, obsession, and self-destruction, wrapped in a mysterious cloak of the supernatural." -Jeffrey Thomas, author of Punktown

"There are a lot of vampire novels coming out right now. So what readers need most are new explorations of the vampiric, of the monstrously sexual. Takeda's novel delivers exactly what is needed. Reading it feels as if Jim Carrol's The Basketball Diaries was pur©ed in a blender with some dank old vampire horror stories. What's red and golden and disturbing all over? This book right here."

-Raven Belasco, author of the Blood & Ancient Scrolls Series
