Bad Moon Rising

The Pine Deep Trilogy, Book 3

By: Jonathan Maberry

Narrated by: Tom Weiner

A new master of terror reigns supreme, and in his most horrifying novel yet, the clash between good and evil explodes in an apocalyptic showdown few will survive.

From a funfest to a bloodfest….

Each year, the residents of Pine Deep host the Halloween Festival, drawing tourists and celebrities from across the country to enjoy the deliciously creepy fun. Those who visit the small Pennsylvania town are out for a good time, but those who live there are desperately trying to survive.

For a monstrous evil lives among them, a savage presence whose malicious power has grown too powerful even for death to hold it back. Only a handful of brave souls stand against the King of the Dead and a red wave of destruction. Daylight is fading, and a bad moon is rising over Pine Deep. Keep watching the shadows.

Jonathan Maberry is the multiple Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Ghost Road Blues, the first of a trilogy of thrillers with a supernatural bite. A professional writer and writing teacher, he has sold more than one thousand articles, seventeen nonfiction books, six novels, and two plays.

Critic reviews

“One of the best supernatural thrillers of recent years.” (John Connolly, New York Times best-selling author)

One of the most action packed horror ending ever!!

This book in the series will take you deep into horror. If you thought the first two books were scary or filled with monsters - this one will send you over the edge of madness. The level of violence and suffering is not for the faint of heart. Proceed with this book but be warned. The monsters that we are introduced to are not your typical monsters. I love the way Jonathan Mayberry gives them a new life (no pun intended - well maybe it was). I couldn't put this book down. The narration by Tom Weiner is one of the best I have ever heard. A male narrator doing multiple women voices well is not easy but Mr. Weiner does this so well and seamlessly - I am amazed. One of my best purchases on Audible.

Excellent Trilogy

Loved it! There should be a 4th book and if there is, could someone tell me the title of the book.

Epic conclusion

The massively epic conclusion to the Pine Deep trilogy. Now that I am all caught up with Joe Ledger, I finally got around to reading this one. (My receipt says I purchased my copy in March 2020 so it's been on my shelf patiently waiting on me for over a year.) This is one of those, why did I wait so long stories. This series has everything. Ghosts, vampires, zombie-like vampires called Dead Heads, Benansanti (the good werewolfs) Dhampyrs and an evil werewolf reborn as a vampire. That is a lot to keep up with and it was fun. I also liked Jonathan Maberry's author's note at the end where he talks a little bit about how his grandmother got him hooked on all the old world folklore. My only complaint is that the series is over.

love it

I've been a fan of Jonathan Maberry ever since I found the Joe Ledger series. I highly recommend giving that one a go as well. and if you have the desire to stick with that series, you will find a pine deep crossover...

overall great series

so I was wary to listen to a Maberry book that wasn't narrated by Ray Porter but this guy did great. dont let that hold you back like it did me for so long.

the story was great, a little slow to start and they throw LOTS of characters at you in the beginning but overall it was a great series. perfect length, great narrator and if you're interested in the Joe Ledger series, its cool to get the original Pine Deep story figured out for when the DMS has a lil crossover.

What a story to leave you hungry for more

it's a story that captures your heart once twice three times in each of the the books the books hold your whole heart mind and soul and then leave you hungry in the end to find out more about what's about the story

Listen to this story for time so far it's 1ofthebe

A hoping that he does more I'm actually praying that he does more I love the character of cloud Mike a mike's mom but as he says it then only time will tell

Action Packed

I really enjoyed this book series. I want more! The story line was creative and full of excitement.

I’m a fan!

Dang this was a long book! I’m a fan of Jonathan Maberry so he could write books of name the hours and I’d be in! This one is tough to keep up, you have to use both ears or back up because there are a lot of characters to keep up with but if you’ve been in since book 1 by 3 you’ve got the idea! Highly recommend, spend the credit!

Great conclusion to a horror classic trilogy

this is an amazing horror story you will no be disappointed!!! trust me on thiz
