"Intelligently crafted horror-thriller ... Absolutely engrossing and left me wanting more." Simon Clark, bestselling horror author What do you do when your world is turned upside down? When you discover your father had a direct hand in the genocide of much of the worlds human population? Phoebe Harkness life has changed forever. Thirty years after a cataclysmic world war that eviscerated one third of the human population, a new sub-species of vampire-like drones has set its teeth to the survivors of humanity. Theyre not the only ones: Genetic Others such as vampires, werewolves and more roam the streets of New Oxford, trying and sometimes failing to live peacefully amongst humankind. But that is all about to change. A spate of serial killings have occurred, rocking the already fragile ecosystem of New Oxford. Brutal murders and mutilation are now commonplace. Phoebe must get to work. She is named as liaison between the Genetic Others and the Cabal, the ruling order of the walled city. She must negotiate with the Tribals, a subset of werewolves cast aside by the cultural hegemony of the Cabal. But before she can make any progress with the Tribal leader, Kane, she learns of more murders and three missing students. And Kanes daughter is among the missing One of the victims leaves a message in blood: Crescent Moon. Now Phoebe must act urgently with the help of Kane and her former paramour, vampire Allesandro to track down the culprit of these horrific killings. But who is conducting all of these strange happenings behind the scenes? And what does it have to do with the Crescent Moon? Crescent Moon is the gripping second instalment of the urban gothic Phoebe Harkness series. It follows the young doctor as she stalks through the corrupt dystopia of New Oxford. Praise for James Fahy: "Hells Teeth is a compelling, original story which kept me eagerly reading to the last page." Innate Plethora, L. K. Smith "Intelligently crafted horror-thriller ... Absolutely engrossing and left me wanting more." Simon Clark, bestselling horror author "One of my favorite books of 2016" Abbeybooksblog James Fahy lives in the North of England, close to wild moors and adjacent to a haunted wind farm, with his extremely patient and long-suffering family and a very old cat named Gargoyle. When the cat dies, James plans to buy a raven and name it Quoth. He is the author of the Changeling fantasy series, following the adventures of Robin, a seemingly unremarkable boy who is swept up into a war between our world, and the Netherworlde, a shadowy realm which lies beyond our own. In addition to fantasy, James also writes Science Fiction, Urban Gothic and Steampunk, for people old enough to know better.

Heads up Helsings.
.
With Halloween approaching, looking for a dark and gothic adventure, filled with vampires, murders, dangerous science and armsloads of attitude, then good news, as Crescent Moon, book two of my Harkness series is in my publishers weekly 0.99 book deals.
.
With book three literally about to chop an axe through the door and scream ‘here‘s Johnny!‘ In your face, it‘s a good time to play catch up while there‘s still time.

TNbookworm Love this series! 6y

My flat was a shambolic mess. For a moment I wondered if Gio and his vampire clan had come round last night and turned the place over, maybe looking for me or the mystery files, but then I remembered it always looked like this. I really had to get around to tidying.‘

I'm super-pleased to be popping the podcasting cherry over at @words_andnerds 😁🙌🏻
So if you want to hear me waffle on in my usually meandering stutter about geeky online gaming (for the win!) being a little too in love with food, and writing about vampires and ballsy scientists, head on over to their feed on insta where you can find the link

Ooooooooh! Book two in the Phoebe Harkness series was so good!! Fantastic world-building, and I love all the characters. The plot continued to surprise me, gradually opening up to a bigger picture. I can't wait for book three. Tell me it's coming soon?!

Crescent Moon is the follow up to Hells Teeth, this book does not suffer from second book syndrome, in fact I loved it just as much as the first!
I have waited a whole year for the third book, I love Phoebe she is a great character, and I'm excited to see where the story is going to go.

“There is a lot of leather here,” Sofia remarked.... “Humans dressed in dead animals. They find it pleasing, yes? Erotic I suppose, to dance with the dead and wear the dead also.”
"Meat wrapped in meat and offered to fangbearers,” the Tribal sneered. “Like dancing pigs in blankets.”

My current read Crescent Moon, book 2 of Phoebe Harkness series by @jamesfahyauthor His genuinely wicked humour flows like arterial spray - once bitten, hooked!

NamelessCityApparel Such a great follow up to #HellsTeeth 7y
BeckyWrightAuthor @NamelessCityApparel I agree! Loved #HellsTeeth but do I dare say, I'm loving #CrescentMoon even more...if that's possible @Jamesfahyauthor 😍 7y
NamelessCityApparel @BeckyWrightAuthor I was the same. I adored #HellsTeeth but #CrescentMoon was a little deeper. Just perfection. @Jamesfahyauthor is a talented chap is he not! 7y

Back in Phoebe Harkness's world was a nonstop thrill Fabulous plot turns and twists with extra darkness in this one. New creatures were fleshed out and I was left a little flustered but a certain desirable vampire😉 James leaves the reader thoroughly satisfied with how book 2 finishes yet leaves the door wide open with anticipation for another instalment A witty, dark totally entertaining read with a fab strong female lead #faveauthor #jamesfahy

BeckyWrightAuthor @GRThomas2014 I'm still in the midst of this, love all the characters, think I'm taking my time so it doesn't end..😂 @Jamesfahyauthor #favouriteauthor #authorsoflitsy 7y

Crescent Moon. 2nd book in the #phoebeharkness series. This book is more in depth than Hell's Teeth, it delves more into the world inhabited by Phoebe, it's slightly darker. It also injects some nice light history into the mix, but it still retains the sense of fun and humour that so marked Teeth as a must read. This book kept me enthralled and entertained from page 1 until the end. I'm eagerly waiting for the next book... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
