Here's a list of The Killing Moon's influences, the books and writers who form, let's say, the hyphae that webs its dark earth: Homer’s The Odyssey Angela Carter Everything! Michel Tournier’s The Ogre David Benioff’s City of Thieves Catherynne Valente's Deathless F. Paul Wilson’s The Keep Gunter Grass’ The Tin Drum Sarban’s The Sound of His Horn
The Killing Moon's spell would have no grounding without these literary spheres of influence.
