The place where he met Diana Kramer. \u00a0Problem is, no one has ever heard of Moonwell and it doesn&#8217;t appear on any maps of the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, we learn that all the trouble in Moonwell began with the arrival of Godwin Mann, a religious extremist from California who planned to put an end to what he sees as a pagan ritual celebrating a deep, dark, and mysterious cave out by the moors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did somebody say moors? I&#8217;ve always had a fascination with the moors, ever since I saw <em>An American Werewolf In London<\/em>.

Admittedly, it&#8217;s all a bit helter-skelter as Ramsey does bounce around between several storylines, with Mann drumming up religious fervor to a fever pitch; those not desiring to fall in line attempting and failing to get out of town; book burnings; a postal worker who attempts to moonlight as a stand up comic&#8230;but somehow this all comes together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reverend Mann: &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I mean to take God down into the cave &#8230;whatever is in the cave is no match for God.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare for Cosmic Horror. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hungry Moon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does not have a happy ending but what it does have is a story of intolerance which took my breath away. The similarities between the way the druids worshiped and the way Godwin Mann&#8217;s followers chose to worship him are much the same.
