 A Macabre Myth of a Moth-Man
comment
Moth-man is your average insect/human hybrid, hiding from the world in general and trying to get revenge on the mad scientists who made him the way he is.Nina is a part-time barmaid who aspires to be a zoologist and is helping some friends do a documentary on a "Moth-man" sighted in the area so she can get her mind off of her ex-boyfriend.Things are about to get very dangerous, very fast for the pair of them, when a lot of creepy cultists, murderous robots, and a man surrounded by crows all get thrown into the mix.A Young Adult debut novel by Brad Fear, it borrows certain elements from the Mothman sightings in Point Pleasant, WV. It's not so much a retelling of the event as an off-shot "what if". A sequel, A Siren Song for the Stricken, was published in 2010.Not related to The Mothman Prophecies, save for the fact that Mothman is in both.

Title Drop: At the end, when Nina tells Moth-man how she's written everything in her diary and is considering making it into a story. She talks about how "A Macabre Myth of a Moth-man" is what she'd title it. Moth-man finds it catchy.

Older Than They Look: Ozzy. Moth-man figured him to be in his mid-thirties, but apparently he was a war criminal experimented on by Dr. Wu as early as the 1960s, or even before then.

Hikikomori: Brett, because of his Xeroderma Pigmentosum, spent quite a lot of time indoors before dating Nina. After he gets Melanoma from being out in the sun too much, he stays inside to such an extent that it alarms his friends.

Pædo Hunt: Child molesters really do not sit well with Ozzy. At all. At one point, Moth-man recalls how Ozzy had him bring in a man who molested and killed several children, yet got off with a light sentence. Later, Moth-man is able to tempt Ozzy into helping him with the possibility of bringing in a child molester for him to kill, along with the lawyer who got the man out of prison.

Obviously Evil: Dante Eclipse. Terrifying white mask? Check. Synthesized voice? Check. Every inch of him covered so there's no identifying him? Check. Desire to completely destroy humanity, in one way or another? Ohhhh, check! Lampshaded by Moth-man, who wonders how Tony Reisman was actually surprised to be betrayed by this guy.

I Should Write a Book About This: The end of the book has Nina telling Moth-man about how she wrote everything in her diary. Moth-man suggests she hold on to it, in case she ever wants to turn it into a book. He also suggests putting his own chapters in first person.

Prone to Sunburn: Brett has a skin condition that causes him to easily sunburn, which fuels his shut-in tendencies. Learning that he can contract melanoma from sunburns only makes things worse.
