Final Moon
A cursed soldier's lineage leads to a dual life hunted by detectives.
The narrative traces a family curse from its origin in a 1952 jungle expedition to its impact on subsequent generations. The protagonist survives a lost tribe encounter and returns home with a lunar affliction. His son inherits this burden, struggling against his own nature despite support from an adoptive family. The story spans decades, focusing on the psychological toll of hiding one's true self. Detectives close in on the Full Moon Killer as the cycle of violence continues. Soltis utilizes her background in screenwriting to structure the tension and pacing of the plot.
The story begins in the 1952 East Indies before moving to the United States. It engages with American werewolf mythology and mid-twentieth century expedition narratives. The text reflects a Second Edition from April 2018, edited by Christie L. Johnson.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Soltis effectively utilizes her screenwriting background to construct a tightly paced narrative that balances gothic atmosphere with procedural urgency. The transition from the 1952 jungle expedition to contemporary police hunts creates a compelling arc, emphasizing the psychological toll of the curse rather than just gore. While historical accuracy regarding the East Indies is secondary to the fictionalized horror, the emotional weight of the protagonist’s isolation remains strong. This work suits readers who enjoy supernatural thrillers with a focus on cursed lineages and the inevitable collapse of dual lives. It is a solid entry for those who prefer tension-driven plots over complex literary experimentation, offering a clear, dramatic exploration of monstrous heritage.
