If you had the chance to live in a place where there was no crime, no ignorance, no poverty – would you want to move there? Valerie Kemp (Mother Moon) presides over just such a place, Halcyon, on an island in Lake Ontario. From all appearances this is the perfect community, but underneath it’s shiny exterior, something rotten and evil simmers. Martin Lovegrove and his family have moved to Halcyon to escape the ugliness of the modern world, and while at first glance, Martin thinks he and his family have moved to paradise, he soon learns that life on Halcyon is worse than anything he could have ever imagined. A current time setting doesn’t change the Dystopian feel to this eerie story
