“A slow, oppressive descent into darkness… Immersive, measured, and unsettling in exactly the right ways.” – Folk’n’Hell

“Bags of spooky charm… impressively immersive … steeped in a doomy, rain-soaked atmosphere.” – SFX Magazine

“A strong cast with a stand-out performance from Jemma Moore, high production values, an atmospheric score from Brent Holland and above all a beautifully paced and accomplished script from Ian Winterton which builds to a scary and exciting finale. It’s a bargain. Don’t hesitate!” – Stephen Wyatt, radio writer and two-time winner of the Tinniswood Award for audio drama.

“… to fear the Moon, to feed her as she must be fed, and never to look upon her feeding…”— Druidic triad, quoted by Posidonius

Beneath the Derbyshire Peak District, in the village of Moonwell, an unspeakable horror has lain, imprisoned by ancient rites, for millennia. But the arrival of well-meaning Christian evangelists, led by charismatic zealot Godwin Mann, frees the creature – and it turns its attention to the nearby nuclear missile base…

But someone else has found themselves compelled to come to Moonwell – anti-nuclear activist Diana Cheung, intent on founding a peace camp. As Godwin Mann’s religious fanaticism takes hold, Diana and a handful of others – villagers and protestors alike – find themselves persecuted as heretics. And then, an unnatural, all pervading dark descends on Moonwell – a pitch black night that threatens to be a precursor to Armageddon itself…
