An action-horror graphic novel published by Arcana Studio.
SYNOPSIS
When professional soldier Timothy Vance receives information
from
someone claiming to be his long-lost father, he takes a trip to
out-of-the-way Harbor Moon, Maine. It turns out that man hasn’t
been there
in thirty years and pretty soon Tim’s life is in danger.
Fighting for the
truth and his survival, Tim discovers that Harbor Moon is
harboring a
secret. The entire town is werewolves and the man he was looking
for
may be just like them. Just as a ruthless band of werewolf
hunters descend upon the town, Tim must decide whether he is going
to stay
and fight or turn his back on what he really is.
A HISTORY OF HARBOR MOON
Harbor Moon, Maine was founded in the 1930’s by young traveler
John
O’Callaghan. Being the sole survivor of the massacre at his
family’s
ranch, the young boy set out in search of a town far enough away
that
he could just escape… Along his travels he met other people like
him and together they built what has become a self-sustaining
community
in the far reaches of the North East. Harbor Moon is home to
less than
600 residents who make their living raising cattle or
operating
businesses that cater to members of the town. Although crime is
almost non-existent, their Sheriff also acts as the de facto mayor.
John
kept a journal about what happened to him and his vision for
the
town, and currently this tome is on display at the Harbor Moon
library,
connected to the schoolhouse.
