Danica has been warned to stay away from the old oak tree at the end of her grandmother’s estate.  An innocent, but with a defiant spirit, she normally rejects her grandmother’s advice.  Not so with the oak tree.  For years she avoids going near it.

One day a young boy appears.  She sees him sporadically and he fascinates her.  He has an allure Danica can’t explain and eventually she takes to teasing him from her bedroom window.

Blood on the Harvest Moon is a short story about the intentional loss of innocence.  Danica doesn’t know her teasing is really preparing an invitation to give up her soul and enter another realm.  The story, an offering in the horror genre, is slightly erotic, slightly creepy and definitely the stuff of nightmares.

If Stella and Audra Price write horror as their genre of choice, they should stick with it.  They have a Stephen King sense of timing.  Unfortunately for these two, Mardi Gras Publishing is now defunct, and the story lacked proper editing and formatting.  Hopefully this story will appear elsewhere and get the professional attention it deserves.  If you enjoy this genre, you should enjoy this fifteen minute read.
