- An unusually usual day-to-day story in the Deep South, set in the gothic,
swampy southern town of Wet Moon, a place fraught with lousy love lives, teen
angst, and shadowy rednecks. As Cleo Lovedrop heads off for college at the local
art school, she's haunted by her melancholic past: a lost love, a lost child.
Friends and enemies live their lives around her, as trouble and dissent brews
amongst them: an unseen social assailant spreads slander about Cleo, she is
forced to deal with her two brusque roommates, and discovers unsolved mysteries
about the girl who lived in her room previously. Elsewhere, Trilby deals with
unsettled emotional and sexual issues, and keeping her secret habits hidden from
everyone. And Audrey comes to the realization that, despite all her efforts, she
always causes her friends distress, while Fern, a peculiar, deformed girl who
lives in an isolated mansion in the bayous, begins to notice Cleo and her
friends. As the moon grows full and lunar rays shine down, lunacy and
moon-calves run free. Goths, friendship, romance, sex, betrayal, gossip, cats,
murder, guilt, a squirrel monkey, and all the terrible and wonderful things
people do to each other.
