Moon Lake by Various Creators (Named Below) Review

5/5 Stars 107 pages
Published September 22nd 2020 by Heavy Metal

I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this book, but that didn’t stop me.  Full of hilarious adult humour, nudity, gore, and scifi goodness, Once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. If you’re looking for any of that, then you’ll want to grab a copy for yourself.

Beginning with an eccentric intro about how Moon Lake came to being, The Earth being a lonely single mother to her bastard son, The Moon, and his undoing because of being used as a blast shield for years and years from space rocks. How he eventually took his anger out on the planet itself, casting down a chunk of himself and creating what is known today as Moon Lake, an irradiated graveyard of a lake where really weird stuff happens. And that’s just the beginning.

From a sex camp full of people who turn into monkeys, to epic space battles on the moon against aliens, even to a cheerleader that loses her mind after the worst day possible and goes on a killing spree. This book has it all. And it does it all and still is able to stay really funny in the process. Though, it does go up and down. The stories have their own art styles that fit perfectly, and make each story beautifully horrific in their own special ways. I couldn’t ask for anything more from this book, and I’m glad that I got the chance to check it out.

Labour Day Week Long Read-a-thon Completion Update

Hey everyone! Sorry I missed my post on friday. But I’m back today with my final update! Though I did read more books than I thought I was going to, I didn’t read as many as I wanted to, but that’s always the case for me.

I read four books during this period of time, and here are their covers.

From a Distant Star
Moon Lake
Lost Solace
Resist (Breathe, #2)

Okay so I miscounted last time I posted, but these were four really enjoyable books nonetheless. I’m excited to post them! I also started reading three more, but two I’ve only gotten about 30% done and the third I’m just over half.

Smoke (Burned, #2)
The Simpsons: A Cultural History
Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person

These being a little bit tougher subjects, more so the first and third, I haven’t been able to power through them like I usually do.

So keep an eye out for my future reviews! I’m always wondering if I should give more insight to what I’m reading and how fast I’m reading them, but I’m not sure if that’s something you would find interesting or not. Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for reading! I hope you’re staying safe and having a great day.
