An ancient curse brought to life to walk under the Blood Moon. Nothing is safe when night falls.
Africa, a place where superstition and witchcraft runs deep, a place of beauty, but where death lurks in the shadows. A land shrouded in mystery, with ancient beliefs simmering just beneath the surface - set on a collision course with modern western ideas.
An innocent act unleashes a horror that walks the African night... under the full moon... and nothing is safe.
Piet van Zyl, safari owner, finds himself drawn into a world of witchcraft, and face to face with a horror returned from the grave. With the support of Veronica Strydom, with her vast knowledge of African Culture, he must rid the night of the abomination, or die trying.
Excerpt
The full moon looks down on the dry African bush, the wind plays with the leaves of the trees, and the shadows grow longer as the moon climbs in the sky. The howl echo’s across the vast African landscape, splitting the night in two. The leopard freezes in his tracks as he moves from the safety of the shrubs, silence descends like a blanket, the chirping of the crickets and the mating call of the frogs disappear as the howl echoes off the kopje behind him. The other watches as the big cat moves slowly around the corner of the deserted house. The attack is fast and deadly, the other launches itself onto the back of the cat, its strong jaws latching onto the thick neck of the leopard, just behind the head. The cat rolls onto its back, trying to dislodge its attacker, blood fly’s, bone is crushed and the spinal cord severed, the big cat now paralyzed is at the mercy of the other. The head of the leopard is torn from its body; sounds of ripping and tearing now fill the night as the other eats.
The other stands in the clearing; all is still; it lifts its head to the heavens and howls out its ownership of the night.
Nothing is safe when the moon is full.

Blood Moon Over Africa
“...you cannot help but be compelled to read on...”
reviewed by Lilian Flesher
This review is from a gifted ebook reviewer copy.
“You will be taken on a journey, an adventure, a scary trip that will have you rooted to the spot, whispering to yourself, WATCH OUT, perhaps yelling at the kindle like me!!! This is a fabulously well-written story, it tells the story of the old ways, witch doctors, medicine men, of tribal beliefs, the things that scare the tribes, the information is endless, you cannot help but be compelled to read on, to follow the journey to the end, keep praying for a miracle because these pair along with their friends and helpers are going to need more than help, they are going to need every ounce of their wits, their courage, their skills, and prayers to protect them.!”

Ravenna Young rated it it was amazing FIVE STAR*****
As I lay in bed, totally freaked out, I'm trying to think of how to best convey the awe that I'm feeling towards this book. I don't like being freaked out and normally I would chicken out on a read like this but I kept reading, even though I lost sleep. I'm not sure how it happened but I finished this book...
Zunckel has magically described Africa, Zambia, in such a way that I became absorbed in the story of a newly married couple determined to habitate a home that is cursed by a nasty half hyena?/human beast. Zunckel doesn't sugarcoat anything and the result is a terrifyingly authentic experience.
The writing is clean and straightforward, unlike any style I've read to date and the characters are quirky and stupid and stubborn like most horror story characters...personally, I'd have been gone after the croc defiling.
I think what I loved most is the genuine connection I felt to the scene, to Africa, and its wild nature which served as the perfect backdrop for this story.
I'm stuck because I've been left with questions but not sure if I have the nerve to read the next in this series...oh, I'll read it because I'm a sucker for punishment and have to follow it through.

Paul Zunckel tient toutes ses promesses et nous tient en haleine tout au long du livre. Si comme moi vous aimez L'Afrique et ses rites les plus noirs, vous adorerez vous plonger dans l'action et partager les nuits blanches de Piet et ses ami(e)s. L'Amérique a Stephen King, l'Afrique a Paul Zunckel, et il est bien parti pour conquérir le monde. J'espère qu'il sera rapidement traduit en français pour le plaisir du plus grand nombre. Un immense plus: Paul Zuncker est un auteur à l'écoute de ses lecteurs et vous pouvez lui envoyer des messages sur Facebook, réponse assurée ! J'ai commencé à lire Blood démon revenge, les frissons sont au rendez vous. J'ai un nouvel ami, merci Paul.
